It is probably more economically sound that she travels free than
that there is a ticket office there for her.


Probably. And she would if she lived in London because she'd have some

Things get more complicated because my father is a BR pensioner, so they
both get priv rate travel on the tube. I'm guessing that that won't be
available via ticket machines!
