Seeking Information on Returning to UK

[Colin Wood]

Recently went to England and then Ireland. On arriving just showed my new Australian digital passport and waved through. No questions at all, just show passport which is shown to a computer, and you are in. Just the same returning to and while transiting at Bangkok.

Yes Collin, it is so simple now.

That is until the machine breaks down.
Returning to Tullamarine at just after midnight we were going fine until two of the machines took passengers passports but would not give them back.
Whole bloody system had to be shut down for almost half an hour while technicians repaired it.
Thankfully we are only 20 klm from there, but my nephew waiting for us was not amused.
