There have been the odd occasion where one of the machines hasn't been working but like i said, its the odd occasion.

The queues move very quickly as theres many tills.

This is a fairly big Lloyds. The queues are reasonable. They have a reasonable number of counters…read moreand open them as needed. The cash machines are not outside. They are in a little room off to one side of the bank. Therefore you don't have to stand out in the cold and it is more private. During the day, there is easy access to the room. Outside bank hours, you need to use your card to access the room. This again helps with privacy and misuse of the room. You can go and see their financial advisors to discuss mortgages, loans etc.

The staff are friendly but there always seems to be long queues. The shortest waiting time I've ever had in the queue was 10 minutes. The staff are very strict on the banks ID policy even to the point that they were unwilling to allow a withrawal from my account with my own debit card. The signature strip was slightly worn (all that shopping!) Eventually they accepted other forms of ID but made me feel like they were doing me a huge favour - well at least I can feel safe in the knowledge that my money is being looked after! :0)

This branch of barclays bank has recently been renovated. It looks much cleaner , smarter and…read morefriendlier inside which all for the good! in addition, they have made the self service machines much more accessible which is a real help! Sadly, the queus are still as long (in spite of most staff doing thier est to keep things moving)..... it's a shame really that the money spent on refurbishing wasn't used to employ more staff during peak times. In spite of al the self service paying in and withdrawel machines (aka holes in the wall!!!) there are still times when you need to go to the cashier. Still, at least it is a much nicer and cleaner environment to line up in I suppose!!
