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

expected to be 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.

Could there not be a gateline a few metres back from the platforms?
