The EMT gateline at St Pancras International has also been upgraded to
Oyster (presumably for Thameslink diversions.)

I've seen the gateline today, and the displays bear the message
'OYSTER / TICKETS'. However, the yellow pads bear the 'card in hand'
ITSO symbol formerly seen on the Waterloo gateline and not the Oyster
symbol. I don't know if EMT are conducting an ITSO smartcard trial,
but some of their ticket machines at StP have rectangular black pads
on them.

Speaking of Oyster, the Southeastern ticket machines there have the
bulky yellow pads (and they're operational) even though you can't use
it on their high speed services.
