I need to travel on 1st train on Sunday Morning from Wembley Park to
Chesham Station. Do these stations have the new Bicycle Friendly
barriers, or do they have the old style barriers that have to be
opened by a member of staff?


If you are worried that there may not be staff to open barriers at
that time, my understanding is that barriers have to be left in a
locked-open state if there is no member of staff on duty to open
them manually.


The gates are unlocked rather than open at East Putney when there is no
member of staff supervising them in person. I was just told to push it.
There are staff within the station if anyone using a gate needs assistance
but they are not immediately to hand.
