Oystercard card vending machines have been installed at several
stations (I have seen them at Liverpool Street and Euston). They are
cash only and sell an oystercard for £3 that then needs credit loading

Superb, about time.

Do you know if you can also cash them in for a refund of the 3 quid? I
hope so. If so I don't think it would be unreasonable to do away with
paper singles and returns completely.

There is also one at Victoria, just outside the gates to enter the
District/Circle Line platforms.


When did these appear? I was moaning about this only a couple of weeks
ago (although I'm sure my moan had absolutely nothing to do with it!). I
hope they install them at Heathrow - I passed through T123 last week but
didn't notice them there (I was tired so I might not have been
particularly observant!).
