Does anyone else remember what they did with one of these on their first day?

No. But I do remember how pleased I was when I discovered the new
ticket machines at my nearest Overground station sold tickets from
Boundary Zone 6, avoiding the need to play "guess how long to allow for
the ticket office queue".


Do you know if Underground ticket machines can do the same? I've not
managed to do so, and I've bought extension tickets from the actual
ticket office (remember those?) at Overground stations.

I have just written a complaint to TfL. Before the ticket office closed
at Stanmore I used to explain to the person behind the glass how to do a
BZ6 to Gatwick ticket. After the office closed I was able to get a
Travelcard extension (for my Freedom Pass) to Gatwick from the machine.
But not the last two times I travelled!
