Hello community,
We currently are planning to travel to the UK in summer. When going by train on regular tickets over there I remember there are machines for the access to the platforms. The regular ticket usually has got to be put into a slot and the turnstile would open so one can get to the platform.
How does that work with the EURAIL Global Pass?
Thanks Frank

There have been some reports recently of passes finally working on UK gates. Many stations now have gates installed with optical scanners for barcode tickets, if scanners don’t exist or your pass won’t work then you just show your pass to the gate attendant. In UK it is required to have the gatelines manned and if not then they should be left open. A very small number, mostly side entrances in stations with multiple entrances, are closed and unmanned but set up for remote monitoring with a call button for anyone needing access.
Machines=Automatenverkaufen tickets, Genau wie bei VRR oder DB
Platforms in most stops have Gates (sperre, hatte mann im BRD auch noch sehr oft) und die nehmen überhaupt keine Pässe. Es gibt immer eine mit ein arbeitender Mensch (Ja, so altmodisch kann es noch immer sein) und dort passiert mann. Heraus genau so. Wenn der arbeitende Mensch nicht im Vorrat ist, dann stehen die Sperren geöffnet.
Jene SPERren gibt es auch sehr oft in ESpana und FR-TGV (die gehen mit die RES-coden) und in viele gross BHFe in IT. In NL kann mann die öffnen mit die tägliche QR-kode, aber NUR die mit gläserne Scheiben-nicht die graue knöpfe.
