Which brings me to another question on FastTicket machines: SWT

tomorrow. But only Anytime (peak) tickets for tomorrow.

Is this restriction in force in other areas ?


I suppose the fact that Offpeak (and Super Offpeak) tickets and e.g.

Network
Card discounts don't appear on the machines until they become valid

makes it
unlikely they'd appear the night before. Although pre-paid ticket
collection (which I haven't used becasue SWT haven't provided it yet)


presumably provides a way round this??


Yes.

Can anyone report on what tickets machines offer for tomorrow
elsewhere, eg in Southern, SouthEastern and FGW areas ?


The FGW machine I used the other day wont sell tickets for tomorrow before
3pm. Also, they still don't have Super Off-Peak ODTC's (either on the
machines or on board) so you would be overcharged anyway.
