Yes I know and collectively what we have done is repeat what has been said periodically for 35 years when the European open station idea was reversed and revenue protection gained ascendancy and the tram route was planned.

It's worth noting that for a while the TOC in charge of the station and the tram operator were owned by the same company and a baton system was in place when revenue blocks were done that allowed people to pass through. Don't get me wrong, as a regular rail user, I do find barriers to be a pain. I understand why they are there though. I'd say it's most probable that the ticket gate instillation will go ahead at Sheffield. Having spoken to Revenue Managers and heard how keen they are, they will definitely be building up plans for when the through bridge goes up and passage is no longer required on the rail bridge to non-passengers.
