Can i buy them the night before?


Last week I was sleeping in an area where I have to catch the bus
first to get to the tube. The man at the counter at Lewisham told me
that "you can buy only AFTER the 9:30 of the day you're travelling"
and, appearing to me a stupid rule, I insisted and lost a bet with my
son (now living in London) that gave reason to that guy...


Typical of SET counter staff who seem to know virtually nothing about ticket
validity. I have had so many problems with this at Bexley; the staff are so
amazingly wrong (and so patronisingly arrogant when you try and disagree
with them - oh no, they must be right, they're the ones selling the
tickets...)

I can only assume they have had no proper training whatsoever, and can't be
bothered to read the fares manuals.
