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...)


It is seven days for the one day and weekend travelcards, the four days is
for weeklys and longer. So even more time.


I would have thought the FastTicket machines at Kings Cross do one day
travelcards though and there must be about eight of them in the booking
hall.


Yebbut the entrance to the Underground closest to the rail station is
now for ticket holders only, isn't it? If Tim's come from Yorkshire, he
might not want a long detour to a big queue.


but it doesn't matter - there is a GNER ticket office, there was
certainly a Great Northern window to one side in the old days but it may
now be by platforms 9-11. There are also passenger operated machines. If
the LU windows were really bad there are machines and a ticket office at
Kings Cross Thameslink which has direct links to the Vic, Picc and
Northern Lines.
