My observations are that the green light comes on when you use an
Oyster, the red one when you use a paper ticket. The paper ticket
is valid, so "red means valid".

I can't comment on the Oyster responses but the barriers at King's
Cross look pretty green to me with a paper ticket.

If that's the case, then they've been changed.

Having just been through said barriers tonight I now understand what
you're on about and why I hadn't noticed. Sorry.

There are lights on the barriers which is what paper ticket users need
to look at to know their ticket has been accepted and there are lights
by the Oyster sensors which tell you that sticking a paper ticket in the
slot closes the sensor (changes a light to red from yellow).
