Another factor is that London Midland ticket machines have not been
upgraded to issue OEPs.
Do they handle Oyster at all?
The machines at Euston have Oyster pads ... are they LO or LM though?
LM. In which case I think we might be able to say that the Scheidt &
Bachmann ticket machines which are equipped to 'do' Oyster nonetheless
can't 'do' OEPs for whatever reason - Southeastern has S&B machines,
and whilst they too do Oyster they don't do OEPs (must confess that I
haven't presented one with an Oyster card loaded with a Travelcard on
it yet, so I suppose it could be an option that's hidden, but I have
my doubts it would work like that).
Yes, I've looked since and they are LM. It occurs to me that there
wouldn't be any LM stations where Oyster is valid that wouldn't also
be LO stations.
Just wondering if the rule is that Shere ticket machines (such as
Southern) do OEPs, S&B don't (yet)?
(If so, then it's also interesting that LO have got some of both
types, I think.)
