It's really not much fun getting tickets at Walthamstow.

If only they would just put one of those little Fast Ticket machines
downstairs...


That sounds like a poor situation. I can only suggest you use Oyster
Pre Pay if you wish to use the Tube, and add credit to your card at a
local newsagent. Again, if you need a season Travelcard then a
newsagent will do the job, ditto for Day Travelcards.

I have Oyster season anyway, and I just refill it at the work end of my
journey rather than the home end.


Anyway there's a few ideas for avoiding the ticket offices/ machines at
Walthamstow, but I'm not making excuses for anyone - a busy station
such as Walthamstow really should be well equipped and competent enough
to sell tickets!

A question - do *any* of the NR ticket windows at Walthamstow deal with
Oyster?

I was deliberately vague above - I know that the two windows on the
Liverpool Street platform there DON'T. The windows on the Chingford
side, I don't remember (I'm thinking they must do for the original claim
to be true!), but I'll have a look and see (or someone here will know,
I'm sure).
