At stations where the UTS gates remain open for a part of the day, will they

They will stay open but you will still have to swipe your Oyster.
Not all stations have gates but validators have been fitted in most
places. The prepay is going to require a certain amount of
honesty/random checks but that's no change from the current system.


In fact, the other day I noticed that validators have been fitted at the
DLR stations I use. They're just stuck in the middle of no-where,
generally hanging around the places where people might walk past.
