When TfL proposed taking over they wanted to staff all stations and install barriers. It wouldn't eradicate of course but would increase revenue directly, and indirectly by making the railway more attractive to those put off by the behaviour of some freeloaders.
Of course that was blocked and the DfT then said very little about it when tendering, and of course now scrapped.
Abbey Wood saw a huge increase in counted passengers when TfL took over and had staff on barriers all day long.
