Out of devilment, I asked the shop owner if he'd heard of an OEP - "Oh
yes, bloody useless things" was the reply! But he says that he gets one
or two requests a day for them, even though he's not particularly near a
station.

Ha! I haven't asked my local shopkeepers about them yet, I'll do so if
there's a convenient moment. I guess those one or two people might be
setting out on a bus to get to a station.

Almost certainly for the first part of their journey. The shop is next
to a stop with a fairly intensive bus service. At a guess, nearly half
of the passengers take a short ride to pick up SWT at Barnes (or
possibly Putney). Most of the rest transfer to LU at Hammersmith.
