Use of the manual gate by able bodied passengers opens all sorts of

Only if the barrier staff are blind or otherwise incapable of reading
what's printed on the ticket.

Anyway, there's a similar problem at Victoria for platforms 9-12.
Nowhere near enough gates, and people seem to be let through the manual
gate based on a complex calculation involving the phases of the moons of
Jupiter. The problem would go away if there were also gates going
sideways into the ungated Gatwick Express platforms, or they got rid of
the McHeartDisease shop, or preferably both.
