Thanks for the photo. Having used this exit often myself, I would be worried to use it (barrier or otherwise) if I were a woman alone or otherwise vulnerable, at least on the occasion the photo was apparently taken. Will there be a member of staff always in attendance to help pax? (I may have misunderstood earlier contributions as this topic did rather go off at a tangent).

Whenever the gateline is in use (i.e. not locked open like the photo) a member of staff with a license to operate the gateline must be there. There is no requirement for staff to be present when the gates are locked open. |

No 'licence' is required - just to be signed off as competent in the operation of a gateline.

A gateline doesn't necessarily have to have staff standing alongside (ie 'present'), the rules allow for a barrier line to be remotely supervised via CCTV▸ from a main gateline. At Havant, for instance, the installation on the up side includes a camera mounted alongside the barrier to allow tickets to be viewed from the main entrance gateline on the down side.

This is also the case at Reigate and the system works well. When my weekly ticket is printed on an Avantix▸ it gets used frequently! |

I suggest you look at the definition of license. |

I imagine the exit will become more late-night user-friendly when the area is redeveloped and there is more footfall locally. Are retail outlets planned nearby does anyone local know? A local convenience store outside would be an excellent way of achieving this and should do quite well if there are going to be all these flats. I can only dimly recall the plans.

There will be a help point fitted to the "Minehead bus" gateline so that it can be remotely operated by the staff at the main gateline.

Hopefully only at quiet times. You won't want hoards of summer Saturday holidaymakers at a gateline with no member of staff. |

Nor when the 07.30 from London Paddington arrives and there are two minutes to catch the bus to Bishops Lydeard for the West Somerset Railway in order to avoid a 30 minute wait and probably missing the train to Minehead to boot.

A local convenience store
I disagree. 5 minutes walk down the road towards town you've got a sizeable Morrisons Supermarket and a couple of convenience stores also 5 minutes away opposite the District Council Offices, which are near the same area. There are also a couple of convenience stores near the Cheddon Road Junction (I used to walk past them nearly every day when I lived there to get to the station ) |
