Default Principles of LU gate operation

The gates are monitored from the booking office. This is normal practice

smaller stations.
The manual gate should be kept locked. It will be appearing on a report to
local managers. Time left open is reported in milliseconds (!), and its a
performance target to get this within limits. Its upto local managers to
enforce this but somewhere someone is getting a headache from higher up to
fix it.
Also NCC can see what is happening regarding the gates and they also will
contact stations to point out any irregularities.
Someone somewhere knows.......



Thanks, it's good to know there's a system in place to address this issue.
