Particularly faredodgers and tailgaters, who can do so without getting
caught. On that basis, I'm not convinced that the wide gate is all

Funny how a decade ago people hated people using mobile phones on
trains, now it's people with bikes - it's just the usual resistance to
an idea whose time has come, from people who feel left out.

Ordinary bicycles are now banned on my local trains at certain times,
and it seems to be working as I have never seen an Ordinary bicycle on a
train. My patent elephant repellent is also working well.
