I wonder if the gateline will be rearranged to allow access behind the
buffers?

Otherwise it's going to be problematic if people who just miss their
first train have to go back through the barriers to get to the
adjacent platform, particularly if PAYG is being deducted.

Why should it be different to (say) Victoria, where you can't get from
every set of buffers to every other - although arguably "another train"
to somewhere might be from a nearby platform (even if the very next one
might not be).


All the, eg next train to Bromley South, will be from platforms that
you can get to from the same gate. Victoria is really two adjacent
stations serving very different destinations.

At Waterloo, if you want to get to, say, Wandsworth Town, the next two
trains on the indicator might be from platforms 15 and 17, one of
which you might just miss. You can't cross behind the buffers to get
to the other.

However, I think it's quite likely that the whole of the current wall
will be demolished for the new gatelines, so I hope this won't be a
problem.
