Is it me or are the guards now checking the tickets on the trains even
more since they installed the gates at Waterloo?

Have to say, the gates work pretty well, although did come across some
machines that wouldn't let any of us on paper tickets out the other
week.

But, seriously, my ticket is checked by machine getting through the
barriers both ends, do you really need a visual check as well?
Treating us all like bloody criminals, I may start refusing to show my
ticket to the guard as they now have ample checks and six times a day
takes the p*ss.
