New High Gates AT Train Stations Will End Up At Mount Druitt - Are They High/Low Enough?

As you  may or may not be aware due to fare evaders that don't have an Opal Card or any paper tickets and want to avoid paying Sydney Trains fares. There are many people that jump electronic gates in concourses, risking health and safety and that leaves them with their own way of  having self-pride.

So to combat this Sydney Trains  will be installing high gates - as per the London Underground style that is suppose to prevent barriers jumping fare evaders within Sydney Trains  train stations.

Currently being installed at Parramatta Station

This is was happens with the London High Gate barriers, which I think if they had lowered the gate to about one inch above the ground and about a foot taller then the actuall gate itself, safer, better and a big money saver. I can see problems with this high gate:

See one climbing over, one crawling under and one running away! The picture speaks for itself. I think we and NSW Transport/ Sydney Trains need to investigate health and safety risks before  it comes to Mount Druitt and/or Rooty Hill train stations?
