Default Ticket Barrier Jumping

MVP writesI was waiting to meet someone at angel station the other day and
someone on their way out quite obviously and blatantly jumped over the
barrier and walked on his way, there was a member of staff on the
inner side of the barrier who just looked at him but did nothing. The
guy didn't even make a run for it he just strolled out normally, are
staff not supposed to do something?


These days, there's a limit to what could be done to avoid personal
risk, be that physical abuse or trumped up "assault" charge. Oh for the
days when folk had more respect for rules and each other...


Are LU staff legally allowed to grab someone? If they are I presume
this would only be on LU property so if he's legged it out the station
there wouldn't be much they could do anyway.
