Are there still some shops/kiosks as you go through the barriers, or were
those a casualty of the automatic barriering?


Yes there are. Not quite so many, but most of the usual suspects are still
there.


I was at Waterloo station this evening, and took the opportunity to
count them - there are five food and drink kiosks in breaks in the
gateline array (i.e. in line with the barriers to the platforms) -
there are four breaks/spaces as one such space hosts two kiosks side-
by-side - this is all between platforms 6 and 11 (and indeed I've just
seen your other post re the NRE 'stations made easy' page which
appears accurate in this regard - not so sure it is w.r.t. the stuff
in the centre of the concourse though). Notably-ish there isn't a
'Sweet Express' (is that what they're called?) kiosk amongst them - I
recall there used to be one before the gating, though I'm I think
there's such an establishment elsewhere there.
