Hello,
I’d like to ask how do I get through station gatelines in the UK with an Interrail mobile pass? I’ve heard that I would need to scan a barcode on a scanner, but last time I visited UK, I went to many stations and I don’t remember there being any scanners, only a hole for a paper ticket. Maybe I remember incorrectly? Also I don’t think all the stations have an attendant that I could ask for help.

If there are no scanner you do it the sameway as with the PaperRailpass 
Show your mobile pass to Servicestaff at the gate and they let you through :)
These scanners ONLY work in NL (and only for a few times and for a short few days-many get caught out) and apparently now even also in a few cases in FRance (as I read somewhere).
UK is different in about anything they can be different in and this includes the way to run railways-it also means that IF a station has gates there IS always someone to assist-as also from domestic tickets a fair nr will not be able to let these gates work. If the worker is sick/on leave or whatever-there will be at least 1 open gate. As such I´ve never been challenged there and always been winked through without even a close look at days etc. But that was always on paper passes, but also far away from the usual touristy lines.
