what is normal for you can be completely different elsewhere. In Berlin a 
typical simple subway station consists of stairs towards the two ends of the 
platform, a lift somewhere in between, ticket machines on the platform and no 
barriers when open. Quite effective btw., queuing at the barriers is the last 
thing you'd want when you're already in a rush ;-)

I'm not sure for all cities, but I think you won't typically find barriers in 
German subways and light rails.

yes, or are not open at night on weekdays. Usually (where I know of, maybe 
London is different) the entrances close a bit later than the last train (if 
it's not continuously operating).

cheers,
