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.

They can't have just realised this after 20 years so there must be another
reason. Ah , I know what it is - before (honest) people would have touched
in at their tube station in central london and touched out at their
FCC station after the readers were installed there instead of finsbury. Now of
course they'll have to touch out at finsbury park too. More revenue and the
chance to charge people full penalty fares if they use PAYG. Result!

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

Yup.
