how to load National Railcard on Oyster card

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.
Probably four, based on this photo I took yesterday:

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.
The machines they've move start right next to the gateline, so hardly
the mountainous molehill you suppose:

(Sorry about fuzzy photos, I had to take them through a glass partition)
