There were plenty of staff (three customer service and two security guards) to help and it seems to work okay except for the constant cho-cho sound whenever a group of people went through. They were firmly off and out-of-order notices on all of them a few hours later.

On a side note, I'm glad they put loads of machines into Connolly, it's a huge improvement over the old joke of a system but I'm not sure it's the best design. Since most of the people using them will be for Dart/Suburban platforms, everyone tends to enter and exit using the 3-4 at the side. I'm not sure how well that's going to work when a big crowd of people try to leave at the same time, the trains were fairly quiet when I was there.
