This could easily be avoided if IE only had one green arrow illuminated on each gate. What I mean is that on top of each slot where you enter your ticket there is a green arrow pointing in both directions. Surely there should only be one arrow illuminated to tell you which way to walk in!! This is certainly the case in other places such as London etc.
Yes, it doesn't look right at all. I don't think both arrows are supposed to be switched on.

I'm left handed and for some reason did that too without thinking about it and ended up invalidating my ticket at landsdown road on two occasions.

Why would it be any more obvious to someone that the ticket should to in on the right rather than on the left?!
