Kyu,
Don't even get me started on the English rail transport system, without being over dramatic I can say it is the one unrelenting thorn in my side!
I travel to and from Uni each week, every single week the train is packed and I have to stand for my journey in a croud of other commuters, then I have the conductors who get so flumoxed they check your ticket several times which is just a pain in the ass when you barely have room to breathe ... and to top it off a couple of week back I had my ticket checked 3 times on the platform at Preston, and accidentaly dropped the return portion of my ticket (Which I was using) so some arrogant pious conductor insisted I buy a new one despite me showing him my outward and reciept tickets ... I think by the time that guy threatened to call the transport police I just gave up and bought one ... *Rant Over*
As far as I'm aware a company or organisation gets to set the routes for customers through it's facilitys, and the rules / regulations under which different paths can be used. Given their right to insist on ticket check and an automated turnstyle being an efficient method they probably have cause for insisting on the use of an automated gate ... just my opinion though, I can't be sure.
