Can someone explain why the gates being closed for exit when the side
gate was open is a breach of safety?

Odd...I was under the impression that the bare minimum of gates was
specified as 1 entry, 1 exit, 1 reversible; and I believe this is/was
the arrangement at Bow Road, for example.

I stand for correction on this matter, but I do find it *very* hard to
believe that there wasn't at *least* one gate available for exit
(unless, for some reason, the 'fixed' exit gate had failed).

Cheers,
