You don't need to be going to Aberdeen. Anywhere ungated on any NR
route outside London would do; and there are many such places in
Surrey, Sussex, Kent etc etc...


You don't even have to go outside London. Kensington Olympia, Chiswick
Wandsworth Town, Barnes and Mortlake are ungated, as are Blackheath and
Deptford, and dozens more. Not to mention almost all of the DLR ...

Thats true, I'd forgotten about the DLR.

TBH though , I don't really care. If I go into a station and then come out
again I shouldn't have to pay. If they're worried about people pulling a
fast one thats their problem , not mine. Either put working gates in these
stations that don't have them, have more inspectors on those routes with a
larger fine or just suck up the cost of fare dodging. But don't stiff people
who may have a valid reason for leaving the station a short while after
entering.
