On LUL we plan to make sure that the gates are not an evacuation route

little queuing at a gateline although I recognise some locations fare
better than others in this respect.

Quite. I can't remember the last time I was seriously delayed
*leaving* a tube station. And yet it happens just about every time
I have to go through barriers at Victoria.

How many tube stations have the full trainloads through barriers
experience of London Terminal stations, though?

Not that Wandsworth Town comes anywhere near their either.
