There is a FFC poster about the supposed link between crime and
ticketless travel, presumably FCC think a large number of their
customers are criminals although obviously said criminals don't use
platforms 3 and 4 at Finsbury Park. Why don't FCC just tell the truth
and say they are trying to maximise their revenue and honest
passengers will be delayed as a result, and also add that it isn't
cost effective to install ticket gates on platforms 3 and 4?

Of course it's about revenue - Finsbury Park is known as somewhere where
there are no barriers, that combined with the Tube interchange makes it
attractive to those wishing to evade a fare.

How are they doing this though - are the gates going in at platform level at
the top of the stairs? Hmm.
