I saw the new gates being constructed. There is a passenger holding
area about 3m deep at the top of the stairs. I imagine the gates will
be locked open for Arsenal home matches. I don't know if anything
special is done at Drayton Park for such congregations.

Yes: they shut the station and make people walk to FP. Which is fair

Despite all the waffle about crime everytime I've pased through
Finsbury Park in the evening the gates have been left open!

One day I'll download the safety case for those gates... I am yet to
experience the new setup in either rush period and I can see there being
either a nasty accident (crushing, or someone falls down the stairs) or as
stated they will end up being left open.
