Hi,

I find trying to get out of Liverpool Street station in the morning
takes longer than it could, principally because there are too few
ticket barriers. Every morning there are large queues just to get to
the barrier. It now seems the staff have been told to not open the
disabled-access barrier to able-bodied passengers, making the problem
worse.




When we discussed this in the thread "Gatelines - relative numbers" on Jan
16th onwards, Paul C suggested Liverpool St had about 60 'mainline' ticket
gates.

Apparently Waterloo is getting something around 170 ticket gates. Given the
similar footfalls (to within the odd 10 million or so), perhaps that is
evidence in itself that Liverpool St needs more gates?
