I do hope they don't imagine they're going to get gates at

As a regular user of one of those stations, so do I. There's enough of
a crush getting out of Thornton Heath station in the evenings already
without slowing everyone down even more with a ticket gate. Thankfully,
nigh-on everyone uses a season ticket so won't have to crowd around the
single working reader (come on, you all *know* that will happen. We're
talking Southern here!) to "touch out".

And that, incidentally, is an excellent reason for keeping proper season
tickets and not just having annual caps like someone else suggested.
