Byelaw 9.2

Where the entrance to or exit from any platform or station is via a
manned or an automatic ticket barrier no person shall enter or leave the
station, except with permission from an authorised person, without
passing through the barrier in the correct manner.

See above. And also:

Byelaw 17.2 Compulsory Ticket Areas

A person shall hand over his ticket for inspection and verification of
validity when asked to do so by an authorised person.

18.2 reads the same for non-compulsory ticket areas.

I think the above covers it. There are other byelaws applicable to the
entry and exit from railway premises. They're on the DfT website.
