Conveniently, a list of OSIs from 2nd January has now appeared on
"The

Well, don't keep us in suspense, Barry - you can answer Paul's

Here they are

Paddington (NR Gates) (NR) - Paddington (NR Validators) (NR) (20)
Paddington (NR Validators) (NR) - Paddington (NR Gates) (NR) (20)


I had wondered what these NR Validators were, but I now see that
validators have been installed along platform 8 at Paddington (also
covering platform 9). There don't seem to be any for platforms 1 to
5.

Airline self-check in is now available for a few airlines at the HEX
