Indeed!
There's a lot of discussion about this and the problem with barriers on platforms / platform tickets in The Railway Magazine. I read in the letters page that one person was refused entry to the platform because 'they don't want your sort here', but the classic response to a daughter who wanted to collect her mother from the train and asked if she could go through the barrier to get her from the train being ....'Is she a cripple?' - I would have gone through the roof!!!
