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.

I know it's a total pain, but can you buy your discounted ticket in
advance from that ticket office?

I'm unsure, but shall make inquiries. It's a shame the "turn up and go"
element of cheap public transport in London is lost, just as it has been on
the railways.

Best wishes,
Mr. Harris
