Arrived at 14:45. I have a Disabled Person's Freedom Pass, partner has
PrePay Oyster which needed topping up soon.

Quickfare machine: Closed
Large ticket machine: Closed

Ticket Office: Closed

All three gates are locked open and display a red X No entry.


Now I read there are proposals to increase the Penalty Fare to £50!

It's not an issue for me; it probably won't be an issue for my partner,
but I fear for those who can easily fail to validate an Oyster PrePay
when stations are left all but unstaffed.

If nothing else, open ticket barriers should allow passengers to
validate their Oyster cards.
