Does anyone know what's going on with the barriers are Surbiton station? Everyday it's a different set up, one minute they are there, the next the aren't?? Really hoping it's for Oyster pas as you go!

Also I have a monthly season ticket between Wimbledon & Surbiton. The other week I went to Kingston on the train from Wimbledon and my season ticket let me through the barrier. Anyone know why? Is the legitimate? Been trying to fathom it out by looking at the National Routeing Guide (sad I know) but if this is permitted it will save me loads of money!

It's for the new automatic cycle/luggage gate, just like the other end which they've done already. They've, bizarrely, switched the gate to the far end, which means that anyone legitimately taking their bike on the train (coming from the south in the evening), will have to get through four hundred commuters getting off the train from Waterloo.
