Default how to load National Railcard on Oyster card

In message , at 18:30:11
on Sun, 18 Oct 2015, remarked:
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.
