Haven't used T3 since April, when it worked fine.

Fortunately there was no queue. The immigration officer was very helpful, and told me it had expired on the 16th (I could see that). I stated I'd used it on the 1th, and asked if there was a problem. "No problem, all I know is what's on the receipt".

Sigh, I'd been on course to beat 10 minutes Plane->Train too

After a 24 hour journey CNF-GRU-MAD-LHR it was nice to touchdown at 225pm, bus to T3, Iris working (2 machines), priority labelled bag already on belt as I arrived in the hall after a pee, doors closed on HEx as I jumped aboard - pulled into Paddington at 310pm. Short cab queue meant I was home in Covent Garden at 330pm.
