Is it just me? I cant buy a ticket online (trainline, qjump, fgw) for
a Zone12 - (random station) online


You can't buy a ticket FROM a LU station to a National Rail station
from anywhere other than an LU station or jointly-staffed station.


You can't buy a ticket online *to* an Underground destination either. You
can at NR ticket offices. PITA.


Indeed, found out this evening I've got to be on the 06:10 from Twyford
tommorrow morning. Ticket office isn't open at that time, but you get a
(floppy) ticket on the train. They'd better sell me the £8 YP single
Twy-Zone32. I could have picked it up at work (we have a fast ticket
machine) before I left tonight, but I cant buy that ticket.

A pain anyway as I hate floppy tickets.
