Let me know your thoughts on if Eastleigh train station should ticket barriers and Gateline staff and have them manning the gates.

It will no doubt happen at some stage. It is a bit surprising it hasn't already given there is effectively a single entrance hall which is about the right size and SWR have had a number of points at which they have added more stations to their gated list. I guess the position of the staircase is the slightly awkward factor.

True but we’ll see.

Eastleigh is borderline - most journeys probably start/end at another gated station, but it is a reasonably popular station in it's own right.

Separately, why the Poll regarding Portsmouth stations? (Edit: Poll removed)

True just interested to see if it happens and think I accidentally put it on this thread. It’s been removed now.

Yes, it should have them. Eastleigh is a major station.
Agreed but it’s a rough area and Gateline staff get attacked .
