As someone who also faces the unbelievable queues at Kings Cross St
Pancras my practice is to deal with my Oyster needs at my first
destination tube station

The queues seem systemic, and have not been alleviated by either the
rebuild of the original ticket hall or the introduction of the western
hall [1]. I have my doubts whether the northern hall is going to be the
silver bullet some predict.
