I think, but can't be certain, that the "Visitor Centre" at the
western end of the Circle / Met ticket hall (near the doors into St
Pancras) can also process railcard discount setting.

If they can do so the gateline staff in that ticket hall didn't seem
to know about it when I was last there. They only suggested the man by
the ticket machines queue. Helpfully they have also removed some
ticket machines in that ticket hall (those on the left of the
gateline). Why on earth have they done that?

Did they move them to the right of the gateline where the windows
used to be? This is what it looked like soon after opening:

With only two, or possibly three, machines; on the far right.

That picture is not clear to me

In the middle distance are four windows, each with a ?pink light
above them. There's a single queue using a classic blue-tape zigzag.

In the foreground running from right to left are two separate ad-hoc
queues for ticket machines (which are themselves just out of shot).

What I'm not sure about is whether there's a third machine just in
shot, with a group of ladies and a girl with a pigtail milling around
in front.

but I think there were more than 2 or 3 machines. I didn't get that
close to the machines.

My recollection of the current configuration is also not clear, Roland. If
they have indeed moved all the machines to one side of the gateline that is
hardly convenient to people coming from King's Cross/Euston Road rather than
St Pancras who all now have to walk past the gateline to access any ticket
machines.
