Does this mean that the gates will all be open (where there are any)
or that staff will be standing there not selling tickets?


When is this meant to be happening?


By the end of the year, so I am led to believe. Regents Park will re-
open without a Ticket Office as it has already been removed.

If the Gateline cannot be monitored, either directly or remotely then
it should be left open, so it depends on staffing levels and CCTV
availability.
If you go to a ticket window, the member of staff (if safe to do so)
is meant to assist you in using a Passenger Operated Machine. If this
is broken they can either visit a newsagents or can travel and pay at
their destination, but what they CANT do is be sold a ticket from,
the, errmm, Ticket Office. The seller then leaves themselves open to
disciplinary action.

Not exactly World Class.....
