Presumably to get a railcard discount one needs to buy from a ticket

You can buy online (destination code 0035 for Z1-6) or from a
machine, but you have to carry a valid appropriate railcard with
you on the day.

Presumably only online from TfL? Not that I can find any such facility
of the TfL web site. How would one pick it up anyway? I can't see how
one would buy it online from FCC or another TOC. As I'm not on a day
trip I can't buy a Cambridge-London travelcard.

No, you presume wrong - Roland's referring to buying one from one
of the online rail booking systems (tickets for which can be
collected from National Rail ticket machines which are hooked into
the system). Given that you can buy one from an NR ticket machine
anyway, there's no real need to buy it online.

An in-London travelcard? I can't get a Day Travelcard to and from London
because I'm not coming back the same day. I did look at a TOC site and
couldn't see how to buy an in-London day travelcard. They only offer
tickets between destinations.
