How easy will it be to modify the existing ticket machines to accept the new £1 coins? How much will it cost and who will pay for it?

Most, if not all, LUL machines have now been fitted with the new validator as alluded to in the link from rincew1nd. My understanding is that all of the costs have been borne by LU - but that's not a bad thing. The existing validators were showing their age and becoming unreliable, either rejecting perfectly valid currency or accepting obviously dodgy coins. They should make staff's lives much easier, although I've not touched a machine since the rollout started, so I can't be certain...
