Is there no chance that the Fujitsu Star system could be adapted to
deal with it? And I forget - any idea which system Southern have at
their ticket offices?

As far as I'm aware, neither Star, Tribute nor Shere Smart (which is
what FCC and Southern use) can be modified for Oyster.

Why this is, I'm not sure, but I seem to remember a proposal that
stations not using FasTIS already were to be equipped with a FasTIS+
terminal, with tickets being issued as normal on "paper" tickets, then
read on the FasTIS+ and loaded onto the Oyster card, with the paper
ticket being voided.

Cheers,
