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.


Pretty silly place to put them, why not make them blindingly obvious?


Positioned there, then they're available to passengers who get off a
National Rail service from Clapham or Watford.

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.


Yes. Perhaps you should have remembered where you touched out when you
arrived...

Quite easily put more at "The Entrance".

I didn't arrive there. We walked from Earls Court.
