Not Allowed To Use Pre-Pay Oyster For A Paper Ticket At Ticket Office?
"JGG" wrote in message ...
At Uxbridge station this morning I tried to buy an off-peak one day
travelcard at the ticket office using pre-pay stored on my Oystercard.
I was told that this was "no longer allowed" and in the end handed over some
cash instead.
Was this a rogue incident or now common practice? If the latter does anyone
know why?

There's an official-looking (ie permanent) sticker on the multifare
machine at Farringdon saying the same (but without an explanation!)
Incidentally, I was very disappointed the first time I bought a ODTC
using Prepay balance and was issued with a paper ticket - seemed very
low-tech...
