They will stay open but you will still have to swipe your Oyster.
Not all stations have gates but validators have been fitted in most
places. The prepay is going to require a certain amount of
honesty/random checks but that's no change from the current system.

Also, my
sister would like to know for when she gets a prepay when money be deducted,
at the start or end of the journey.

Allegedly a maximum cost single will be deducted and then some
credit will be put back on at the end of your journey.

Correct.

If you only validate on exit, the full cost comes off.

If you fail to validate when entering the system and get caught by an
RPI, you're liable to penalty fare.
