Oyster validators have now been fitted at the bottom of the stairs to
platforms 4/5 and 6. They don't appear to be switched on yet. There is
now a notice in the booking hall telling passengers to use the manual
gate validator when using platforms 5 & 6.
At Paddington, FGW have put up a poster telling passengers to use the
platform 13 validator when the gateline is switched off.

I took the Hammersmith & City to Paddington earlier this week, the first
time that I have done so in a long time. I tapped my Oyster out, using one
of the validators at platform level, despite having read previous posts that
there are now new gates at the entrance. My card let me out at the gates,
but I am wondering if I am due to be fined

No, in general you can touch as many standalone validators as you like
without it affecting your fare, although I'm sure there are exceptions
(Stratford, possibly)

Great! so everyone has to walk back to platformn 13 if they find the
barriers switched off to complete their journey on Oyster?
Isthat good enough? I'd beseriously pissed off.....

That does seem silly. At all other stations, the validators on the
gates remain active when the gates are left open (and, indeed,
passengers are frequently exhorted to always touch in and out even if
the gates are open).

When you first posted this it planted a seed in my mind that has been
niggling away since.
