I have heard a good few reports of tickets not coming out and seen quite a few tickets failing, including my monthly ticket which completely failed and would not work in any gates in any station! These gates have been in situ since October surely by now they should have fixed all the bugs.

they're also causing hassle in the evening due to the layout of the station and the infrequency (and consequent heavy loadings) of arriving trains. They've only had them activated a few times, but each time its caused a major backup of people on the platforms (something that happens to a lesser extent anyway).
to sum up - the new ticket gates are sh!t.
