Passports are scan as well having a photo of you taken from my experience.
A number of train stations platforms in Europe are moving to a gate system where you need your ticket to get pass the gate to catch your train and onto the platform. Most stations allow you to walk freely onto the platform even without a ticket.
Brussels has an waiting area for the Eurostar. I know there is a waiting area in London for the Eurostar behind a screen off area. In Paris, trains are behind a screen area with riders standing in long lines on the 2nd floor in a screen area.
Can't recalled what took place in Madrid.
VIA will not allow anyone onto their platform until about 5 minutes before the train arrives and you need a ticket to do so from what I have seen and had to do last year. This only applies to various station as the rest you can walk onto freely without a ticket.
