I could not agree more. I've had the same experience as you at
Waverley in the past. Other annoyances include the inability of gates
to recognise Rover or Ranger tickets, advance purchase tickets or
tickets valid for break of journey. Examples include:

Lincoln Central not recognising a Lincolnsire Day Ranger;
Waverley, Glasgow Queen Street and Stirling not recognising Freedom of
Scotland tickets (at Stirling, the lady at the gate, when I showed her
my ticket clearly marked "Freedom of Scotland" asked "is that valid
here?");
Milton Keynes Central not recognising advcance purchase tickets;
Hitchin not recognising season tickets (eg Letchworth to Z1-6) valid
for break of journey.

If there are software or similar issues that mean that certain types
of tickets cannot be recognised, then why the **** can the TOCs not
put up a large, clear notice saying something like "please use the
manual gate for advance purchase tickets and Rover tickets".
