Question from a friend, but I'm curious too.

Is it possible to buy a single London Underground ticket (e.g. zone 1
only) from an NR ticket office many miles away from London (in this case
Yorkshire)?

Ditto for buying an inboundary Day Travelcard (i.e. zones 1-6)?

FWIW, in this case, using contactless cards aren't an option, nor is
Oyster (several are travelling, but either not enough for the 10+ Tube
Group ticket, or else they wouldn't be able to travel all together - I'm a
bit murky on the details of this endeavour).

I know it's possible to get online booking engines to offer inboundary Day
Travelcards, but they can't be made to offer single Tube tickets.

Can an NR ticket office sell them? I've had a quick fiddle with
BRfares.com ("zone u1* Londn" etc) without much luck.


Southern sell inbound travelcards (usually as "Battersea Park to Zones ...")
in Anytime or Off-Peak versions, and I think they still post them 1st class
FOC when ordered online. I think the nearest you'll get to a zone 1 single
on paper from a NR outlet would be a Zones 1&2 travelcard, but I may be
wrong.
