Sorry, I should be clearer.

The oyster readers are about opposite the fixed red light which
marks where the track ends. In other words, (roughly) opposite
where the driver sits when he is driving his train into the station,
nearest the end by the exhibition hall.

This is a little way into the station, but you obviously have to
pass this point in order to get onto a LuL train.



Pretty silly place to put them, why not make them blindingly obvious? The
problem still was that I was looking at where everyone else buys their
tickets, and there were probably 30 people standing in front of where you
are talking about. The tube was totally packed, so you can imagine the
commotion.
