I still remain convinced that this big bang of closing all TO in one
go and expecting the 1,000,000 people per day to change their habits
and suddenly start using machines is doomed to failure and chaos will
ensue - and that's just considering the people who are queuing, by
choice, to buy "normal!" tickets, ignoring all of the edge cases that
the machines can't handle.

Who says they are going to close them all at once? I thought they
had been closing ticket offices for some time.

Have any ticket offices been shut so far? I thought they were all
still there, but many suburban station offices are only used for part
of the day.

It's a long time since I used East Putney with the ticket office
open. But It's also a long time since I used it in the morning peak.

It's not hard to find East Putney's ticket office hours (which are much
better than many stations in oyster London):

Monday - Friday 07:00 - 12:00, 17:00 - 19:00
Saturday 09:15 - 16:30
Sunday 10:00 - 15:45
