I think they have now all gone from the LUL network. *I invented the
carnet validator concept and agreed the spec with Cubic over the space
of a weekend in order to get carnets introduced in about half the time
we'd ever introduced such a big change before. *The only problem with
them was that they were all right handed (for obvious reasons) but that
caused problems when you wanted them on either side of a corridor such
as at (old) Kings Cross Thameslink.

Still some in passageways on the Northern City line I think - I recall
there being one at Moorgate when I passed through recently, and have
some recollection of them elsewhere, at Old Street and/or Essex Road.
Quite possibly all on Network Rail territory, as opposed to the LUL
estate, which might explain their non-removal!

I, er, can't see the 'right-handed problem' w.r.t carnet validators -
or was it all just about the angle of the LED display on the top?
