2 years ago, for the Jan 2010 rises, as in my earlier post...

But not at any shops - which is a real kick in the teeth for anyone
not living within walking distance of a station. They have to pay a
bus fare before they can then buy a Travelcard.

Not if they buy their ODTC in advance, eg the previous day or even get
someone else to do the purchase on their way home.

In Victorian times, when every man wore a beard the size of a yew,
Britain ruled the world. In the early 20th century, when the beard
was trimmed to a moustache, we scraped through two world wars but
lost an empire. Today, when Mach3 Turbo multi-blades are the norm,
our national pride derives largely from beating the Swedes at
Olympic cycling.

Grow a beard. Your country needs you.

Was this what they actually said to you? If so they were wrong - if we're
talking about Day Travelcards, that is - Day Travelcards are (or should be)
sold from any open Tube station ticket office, and they're also available
from all Tube ticket machines.

(It's different for *season* Travelcards though - Tube station ticket
offices / self-service ticket machines and 'Oyster Ticket Stops' i.e. shops
have only sold season Travelcards on Oyster for a number of years now -
though they're still available in printed form from NR ticket offices.)

For confirmation of this see:
http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tickets/14433.aspx

Tube stations

* Get and top up Oyster cards
* Buy Travelcard season tickets
* Buy paper tickets for single and return journeys and Day Travelcards

Ticket machines: Top up your Oyster card with any amount of credit, add
season tickets or buy paper tickets.

Ticket offices: Check our interactive journey map for ticket office opening
times at each station. Ticket offices will top-up Oyster cards if you're
putting on at least £5.

Also, this PDF (linked to from the above page) shows different ticket types
and where you can buy them from - on page 2 it explicitly states that Day
Travelcards are available from Tube ticket offices:
http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/tickets/where-can-i-buy-my-ticket-january-2011.pdf

If a Tube ticket office refused to sell you one then that's obvious grounds
for a complaint. (I did have a clerk at a Tube ticket office get difficult
about selling me a railcard-discounted Day Travelcard when I presented my
Network Railcard - they were convinced that it should come with an
accompanying photocard, a la the 16-25/ Y-P Railcard - they did sell me one
after my exasperated look made clear that I wasn't going to leave without
one.)

" We don't sell paper tickets ".

Although given how unclearly he spoke, it might have been "I can't smell
pepper tarts", in which case he is to be applauded for his adherence to
the Da-da-ist cause!

Anyone who doesn't speak clearly should be fired from public-facing jobs
immediately. Discuss.

Yes they are - from ticket machines and ticket offices. *National Rail
stations and DLR Ticket Machines also sell them.

As do Tramlink ticket machines.

Can TfL's six Travel Info Centres still sell them? I'd assume they
can, but maybe I'm wrong.
