The displays on the gateline at St Pancras High Level have now been
changed to state "ITSO/Tickets" instead of "Oyster/Tickets" as they
previously did. Whether they actually now accept ITSO cards is hard to
check without one.
(They have always rejected Oyster cards previously, even when FCC
trains are running from the high level platforms.)

I think this is the first gateline mentioning ITSO acceptance.

EMT gatelines at St Pancras and Derby have ITSO readers, EMT had a
franchise committment to introduce smartcard season tickets, there are
also smartcard gate passes issued to certain people. Oyster was meant
to be updated to ITSO technology but it doesn't appear to be
happening. I believe its a similar situation at SWT.

There are a fair number of ITSO smartcard gatelines already operational on
SWT's main routes (although outside London), so St Pancras is not the
first...
