Fare gates
It's mentioned in this article and in cross-platform interchange that cross-platform interchange is possible between mainline trains and the tube, like Stratford station. Are there any gates or validators in the middle of these platforms? If not, are the two ticket systems integrated? 14.0.144.48 (talk) 19:29, 25 December 2012 (UTC)


 * No, it is a single station with gates on the entrances/exits but not between modes. The gates will accept Oyster (which can be used on C2C as far as Grays), National Rail paper tickets and Underground paper tickets. I am not sure if there is a validator anywhere on the platforms for people who need to switch between Oyster PAYG and NR paper ticket mid-journey. I know some stations (e.g. Stratford) have these so I expect that there is a validator somewhere.
 * TfL's ticketing allows a train journey to be multi-modal. It generally only cares about the start and end points of your journey (with the exception of the "pink validators" which can be used to prove that you took a route avoiding zone one and hence get a lower fare on some journeys) and so it (more or less) ignores the situation where you exit an underground station and immediately enter a nearby NR station. It realises that this is an interchange within a journey and does not charge for two separate journeys. As such, not validating when switching mode at Barking normally only deprives the system of information it would have ignored anyway. --DanielRigal (talk) 00:05, 26 December 2012 (UTC)

Accidents and incidents
"In November 1923, a locomotive crashed through buffers at Barking and overturned, overhanging the road below."

I can't check the source of this statement, but the railway lines @ Barking station are and always have been at ground level. There is / was no road below.
