Welcome to Walton.
The closing of the station to facilitate ticket barriers, on both sides in this case, is an horrendous sight.
Looks just like a prison.

What I don't understand about horrors like the barricades at Walton is that the project must have involved dozens of people and a budget decision.
And yet not one single manager had the sense to say, "stop, this is utterly incompatible with our efforts to welcome passengers".
