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.

Route validator. Use them when changing trains using Oyster PAYG. It proves
you didn't go via Zone 1, so you only get charged for the zones you actually
used. See page 9 on this:
