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.


Those from Kings Cross will have walked past machines in the original
ticket hall. Almost no-one enters the Western ticket hall from the
street outside. In any case, it's only a few mote feet, and if we are to
have foot patrols by helpers, isn't it better to have all the machines
close to each other.
