Does anyone know what type of Platform Ticket (if any), was issued in the North Tyne Loop stations prior to their de-staffing and conversion to Metro? I understand that all (in theory), were provided with ticket barriers and that tickets were checked and collected on entering or exiting the platform. I vaguely remember seeing both an Associated Automation (AA) ticket from Tynemouth, and an Edmondson Platform Ticket. If anyone can help or even provide some scanned tickets, I'd be grateful.

Re: Platform tickets on the North Tyne Loop
from what i can remember it was only the larger sttions that proper barriers with gates. south gosforth for instance had a gate but you had to pass through it to get to the ticket office in the waiting room or the parcels office so a platform ticket was a waste of time,the oppisite ticket was only opened as a train was due.
