Therefore, the barrier that you were trying to get through with your

I realise this isn't answering your question, but it's background
information.

Well in retrospect that make some sort of sense I suppose... in which
case, why was I allowed through with a London Stations only ST? I
suppose it's a case of flash a Gold Card and they just let you
through... but the guy had a reasonably good look at the ticket. If
he'd told me that it was a Tube barrier and my ST wasn't valid, I'd
have realised I needed to use the Oyster.


I think that's the answer. The machine wouldn't let you through, but
your determination that that ticket ought to get you through obviously
convinced the LU person.

In answer to the other point, it's actually an LU ticket office. I
don't think there is a ticket office for Waterloo East any more, and
when there was it was on the bridge to Waterloo Main, where there are
still machines and an almost permanent squad of checkers (far more than
it would take to staff a ticket office).

I can't quite remember, but I think that there may now be a lift where
the old ticket office was.
