I could hardly believe, last week, when I tried to buy a One Day
Travelcard at my local newsgent, who had sold them for many years,
that they are no longer available there! The equipment, he told me, as
I could see, had been removed and all he can now do is add credit to
Oyster cards, or sell weekly etc. tickets on Oyster.

This is an outrageous scam by T.F.L., which means I now would now lose
£1 credit on my Oyster in order to get a bus to my local station which
is, presumably, the only place I can now buy a One Day Travelcard.
Does anyone know why one can't get a One Day Travelcard on Oyster?


Are you sure it is TFL making the decision, the tfl website says that
ticket shops can still sell 1 day travelcards (http://
ticketlocator.tfl.gov.uk/ticket_stop.asp). Maybe the newsagent doesn't
want to sell them anymore due to lack of demand. I don't know whether
the ticket shops have to pay for the kit though.
