Default Two Oyster pickups at one

Here's another wrinkle, by email overnight they said:

"touch your Oyster card on a yellow reader at the location shown above as
you start a journey."

Which makes a choice of station even more complex (if they mean it). I
can't predict in advance what station I'm going to be using to travel home
*from* (in central London), even though I'm fairly sure which station I'm
heading *to*[1]. It depends what pub we go to after the meeting etc.

So it has to be St Pancras (or if I was wider awake when answering "what
station am I changing to the tube at") Kings Cross.


I am 99% certain that's just badly worded and shouldn't be taken at literal
face value - Oyster 'products' can be collected either when starting or
finishing a journey, i.e. when touching-in *or* touching-out.
