Last night some bright spark at Brent Cross had set all the gates to
enter only, they all displayed no exit.


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).


I don't find this *at all* difficult to believe.

Burnt Oak had all its gates set to 'exit' a few weeks ago. The situation
*might* have changed after I tried to sort out some incomplete journeys
on my, and my partner's, Oyster Prepay cards. Wecomplained loudly at
another station about the situation at Burnt Oak...

I won't have the problem now I have my Freedom Pass ;-)
