Euston is a bit of a red herring given the split of platforms between
gated 8-11 and the other ungated platforms. Milton Keynes can
presumably be checked by the arrival time of trains (given that the
steps from each platform are visible from the gate line).

VT, to be fair, never use 8-11, though LM do in the peaks use the
non-barriered platforms, and there is never a grip on arrival at
these. Similarly, the policy at Euston seems to be that if two trains
arrive at once the barriers are opened, as to do otherwise results in
it taking upwards of 5 minutes to get through, which causes problems
with people trying to get to departing trains at the same time.
