Recently WMT (LNR) have made a big thing about having barrier staff at stations with barriers for the full period of service, and they indeed did this for the first few weeks, most notably I used the weekday 0134 from Euston to Bletchley and found the barrier staffed on arrival.
However, I've been to London 3 times this week, and only on Monday was the barrier staffed on arrival back at around 1900. I *think* it also wasn't staffed this morning in the peak, though fare evasion at that time of day is probably very near zero.
Is there a sickness issue, or have WMT discovered that fare evasion at these stations is not quite what they thought it was and so it isn't worth it?
