The buffet curries in the galleries lounge actually look pretty decent. I've asked how long they hang around for before they get taken away and will grab a late plate.
Still have about 2.5hrs left until a realistic boarding time with our inbound aircraft just taken off from IBZ. Thankfully (I guess?) I'm no longer driving at the other end tonight as the car rental centre will be closed at 11pm, so doing the foolish thing and having a few drinks... At least I've banked a cheap hotel close to TRN until the morning!

So this is where my confusion with the OW lounge site arises. They just have the First and Club lounge listed together and apparently due to close at 20.00. I guess if F closes at 19.00 and Club at 21.00, the average work out at 20.00....

I don't think it's uncommon for lounges to change their closing time based on delayed flights, but always interesting to experience it first hand.

sorry we were HBO so missed check in. Fast track security was ok until we got to the xray machine and there was around 10 min delay when everything stopped. But got from train to lounge in <35mins

Monday morning for a 7am departure took about 20-25 mins from the Premier Inn at LGW North to the club lounge. J check-in queue was quite long and there didn’t seem to be any staff on the desks, so quickly reversed and went to the Y bag drop which was much quicker. Don’t go through LGW that much but thought the lounge was in much better condition than at LHR.
