[edit] Ticket Barriers
Currently 'Ticket Barrier' redirects here. However, a ticket barrier refers to a gate which lets people through to a public transport system if they have a ticket. Ticket barriers can be gates or turnstiles. Could someone change this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Anywikiuser (talk • contribs) 17:05, 12 February 2008
- Fix what? To be completely honest, the differences are minimal - the redirect seems fine to me; the only possible improvement would be to possibly add some info on the other type of gate you describe to this article. Alternativley, if you can find enough info on the other type of gate, create an article for it in place of the redirect, but I can't see that being easy. TalkIslander 23:17, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

- Well, being in the UK myself, I feel I can accuratly state that turnstiles are very often used as ticket barriers. Go to any theme park or similar ticked attraction, and you'll find a turnstile. Train stations aren't the only places using ticket barriers ;). TalkIslander 22:50, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
- I am saying the redirect is inaccurate as a ticket barrier is a gate controlling access and a turnstile is a device often used as a ticket barrier. I forgot that theme parks etc. often have them. Anywikiuser (talk) 16:13, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
