all e-passport gates were shut again at terminal 1 at about 17:00 yesterday, it seems this isnt a rare occurrence either and the queues do start to build up quick. Im not complaining at the service at border control but it could cut a few minutes off the queue times if MAN actually used the e-passport gates rather than letting them collect dust.
Immigration times where over 2 hours at around 14:00 yesterday.
Thanks
