The sweet shops known as 'Ticket Stops' will send you ODTC in advance,

Not in Yorkshire

No

If you buy in advance, do you have to choose the day or does it just
work for the day you first use it?


You buy for a specific date, which gets printed and encoded onto the
ticket. If it's off-peak, you tell the shop person you won't use if
before 0930 on a weekday.

You can only buy up to 4 days in advance IIRC. I suppose you could just
about get a friend/colleague in London to buy you one and post it to you
(if you trust the Royal Mail...)

Shame they haven't got 'capping' in order yet, isn't it?
