Also, the new H&C Wood Lane station is planned to open without a
ticket office.
Will it have passive provision for one?
No. Just Passenger Operated Machines and a Station Supervisors Office.

Does this mean that closure of the ticket office means the whole station
is unmanned? Reference to a supervisors office in Wood Lane suggests
there will still be people present on each station, simply that the
ticket office will be closed. If people are to be present are they
able to provide help with the ticket machines?
From my observations, ticket machines are never left unattended. When a
station is unmanned the gates are left open.

I know that at least some (all?) stations must be closed if there is not a
staff member present. There is no requirement that the ticket office be
open.

I have used South Woodford a few times recently. On all occasions, the
barriers were permanently open. Does this mean that there were no LU staff
at the station?
