Zonal fares will be rolled out before Oyster, potentially next year

installed at Waterloo.

That'll be fun in the morning rush

Indeed. Victoria just about manages gates, but has a different design that
lends itself to them. Similarly Liverpool Street has natural places. But
where would one put the fare gates in the concourse/platforms at Waterloo?
The entrances to most of the platforms are too narrow.
