move been stamped at ports, tunnels and airports in Ams, CDG and one other airport I forget. No rhyme or reason even when taking the same journey on consecutive weeks and my CDS presented on all occasions.
that you could get through the e-gates at Cdg with a uk passport is a welcome change, I’ve always had to got through the Other queue and was actively refused by the gates themselves. Hopefully it will be better when I go through later this week.
As I said, this was originally a problem when it was all new. Checking my passport shows the last stamp in December last year. Hopefully they’ve all learnt.
