Calls to gate Glasgow Central

Telegrammed by Leo Pink
So Network Rail are keen to discourage feral youth from loitering at Glasgow Central station?

The obvious solution is to gate station entrances so that only ticket holders can enter!

Those wishing to buy a ticket at the station, and how 20th Century is that! - would buy a 'Permission to Enter Facilities' pass for £2 which would be refundable against tickets bought in the station.

For family groups meeting relatives there would be a group pass for two adults and up to three children costing £5.

Although such a proposal might not find favour with retail outlets and indeed Eye's editor...

(Indeed it wouldn't, although The Fact Compiler has no problem with re-introducing what we used to call platform tickets. Ed)
