As it is also a National Rail station, would it not be a good idea to
have a sign up saying how to buy National Rail tickets? They really
should make it more obvious.


Err, why? You buy them in exactly the same way as you buy Underground
tickets.


Yes, but it's entirely non-obvious that a ticket machine labelled
"London Underground" would sell NR tickets - while I might give one a
go on the off-chance if there were no other option, I certainly
wouldn't have expect it to do so before reading this thread - and I'm
fairly sure I'm more clued up [/geeky] about transport around London
than most people.
