The Stratford internal gateline has been out of use since before Christmas -
any news on it being fully removed?

Well, that just shows how out of touch I am!

Last time I was at Stratford station was way back in September - it
was a Jubilee line closure weekend, so the 'internal gateline' was out
of use, however I did see (and took a few bad photos of) some insane
arrangement cobbled together there whereby there were pink Oyster
route validators immediately next to a few of the gates, which
mindboggled me completely! Unfortunately I never got round to sharing
that here at the time (life got v busy) - I dare say it was noted and
discussed by others. I'll try and dig said fuzzy photos up.

I saw those validators as I passed through Highbury & Islington on the NLL.

Are there many of them around?

Not quite sure what their purpose is.
