Dodgy gates at finsbury park

No doubt even then however she'd have ended up paying more than for just a straightforward through journey. I disagree - the system doesn't operate randomly. However please do note that I'm not criticising her or anyone else who might get caught up in this - instead what I was trying to do was explore the issues at a station such as Finsbury Park where there's an 'in-station OSI', and the problems it can - and seemingly already is - throwing up. Having to touch-in on a standalone validator en-route to the Tube, or indeed touch-out on one leaving the Tube en-route to the mainline platforms is something that a great many pax will see as counter-intuitive - either there needs to be very clear instructions given (though even that would be difficult at FP), or else perhaps the gates need to be configured in 'interchange mode' (as was the case with the old Stratford JLE gates), though that in turn presents other issues. Ideally however the whole station complex should be gated (though that in turn would mean that people couldn't walk through the tube station tunnels between the different bus plazas - though technically speaking said tunnels are possibly already in the fare-paid area, i.e. for ticket holders only, I dunno). |
