Agreed - if I turned up at a platform with minutes to go before my train was due to leave and all that was between me and the train was a gate I would open the gate in the absense of a staff member or sign specifically telling me that this was not to be done. The alternative is to stand there like someone with no intuition, or no ability to apply logic to the situation they find themselves in and watch the train depart after standing behind the gate for a few minutes.

I don't know whether there is signage in place indicating that the gate should only be opened by authorised people but in the absense of the signage I would proceed to my train.
