The machines are quite happy to dish out a one day paper travelcard. For now.
Though if you want to buy an oyster card you need to queue for the bloke in
the ticket office. I wonder if anyone in TfL has noticed the irony?

The last time I bought an Oyster card, I did it from a ticket machine.
It seemed a very useful feature not shared by many other cities. My
reading of http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tickets/14433.aspx is that this isn't
possible any more.

"Ticket machines: Top up your Oyster card with any amount of credit,
add season tickets or buy paper tickets."

So, is it possible?
