BA left the Compass Centre several years ago, it’s purely occupied by HAL nowadays.
They still let me park my car in the staff car park about 100 metres away :((
When all else fails, read the instructions.

It's OK.

Failing Grayling is on the case. Preferably sitting on it. If it goes off, it might make a bigger arse of him than he already is

It’s the Micks again :-o
Irish police are assisting the Met as the Heathrow and Waterloo packages had Republic of Ireland stamps.

I arrived at Waterloo at 17:15. No police, no blue lights, no panicked crowds, no cancelled trains. Nothing. Had a p, made a phone call, caught an underground train. Nothing.
