To the right on the wall at Glenferrie there's a big red button that opens the
barriers at the station that you might want to use. The fact that whenever these
barriers are shut and there never being an attendant there IMHO is irresponsible
of the staff at Glenferrie. It doesn't seem to be helping reduce fare evasion
since evaders simply jump the barriers away from the booking office. Any other
stations doing this?
