I see ticket office opening hours are being dramatically scaled back at

closed entirely, whilst Upney will close late morning Mon-Fri and not
open
on Sunday.

Where I live, the ticket office closes at lunchtime. This now makes it
impossible to buy an OPODTC with Y-P.

Aren't they available at the machine/interchange/destination?

They're not available at the machine, AFAICT.

Plus there's no longer a guarantee that my destination station will have an
open ticket office, and it's not particularly progressive to have me alight
mid-journey at a "known good" station to exchange my ticket.
