While at Paddington on Friday evening i noticed that ticket barriers have ben installed on the overbridge at Paddington covering platforms 2-5. They did not appear to be switched on though does anybody know if these barriers are operational yet? or if not when they are due to go live?

They will go operational when we FGW (First Great Western) get staff for them, which won't happen until they get round to recruiting..basically your guess is as good as mine Smiley
