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
species of Freedom Pass.

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!

How will special tickets like privs be issued without ticket offices? Can
one buy a cash ticket from a machine? I can't say I've noticed the option
recently.
