But pre-purchased tickets can only be collected from the machines.

No, actually. You can collect ToD tickets from ticket windows. I've
done it.

You can, but it needs "full ID". And they are very grumpy about it.

Not my experience. I couldn't collect by machine because the Shere machines
refused to recognise my Visa card for ToD purposes (they were happy to take
money off it) and the Scheid & Bachmann machine was out of order so I had no
alternative and started by asking what to do because I didn't think I could
collect from a ticket window. They were incredibly kind and helpful.

Maybe they like you. My experience has ranged from "it's the Internet
and nothing to do with us" to having to go back home to get more ID than
a [different] credit card plus photo driving licence.
