I was told by a station attendant that even with my Freedom Pass, if
I went through a gate without touching (registering) it, I would
still be eligible for an £80 fine.

I may be wrong, but don't recall reading that in the Freedom Pass
rules.

The circumstances were that my FP was cracked and not working. I had a new
one being sent to me. The station going in had the gates open and the
exiting station had the gates working. I had to be asked to be let out. I
was asked how I got in and I said that I just walked through the gates.
That's when he made that comment.
