I 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?

Why didn't you stop him?

Because putting myself in the line of fire when someone has only
fractured a bylaw isn't something I do.
I have stopped people comitting other offences though, including a
recent thing at reading station

Leave it to the station staff, then. Let them take the flak.

'tis what their job is, so I thought.
I only intervene out of common courtesy if I see someone in
potentially more danger than they can handle.

I was on a platform at reading station awaiting a changeover late one
night recently when a scruffy and 'agitated' young lad was flaoting
around one of the food places pestering the lone member of staff for
some free food as he had no money, after she'd said no a few times and
he was following her around the seats as she was cleaning up I decided
to make my presence felt so he backed off. Being a kind type the young
lady gave him a pastry for free as it was the end of the day and he
possibly was indeed hungry, the sod then swiped a cookie on his way
out. he never made it out the door.
