They are used after around midnight to keep "undesirables" off the station. The way off the station then is through the car park if there's no staff around to move the gates. I have never seen them locked, even at 1 in the morning, though there is a padlock on the gates for use. It saddens me that ATW have been allowed to get away with installing these building site gates at the front of the station after the grant bodies have given many £millions. Doesn't anyone in Chester care? The gates were not installed to protect revenue.

It would be help if they were in use for a longer period of the day (e.g. in the evenings). The gates at Chester were installed to protect revenue and to keep undesirables off the station.
