Heck TfL have even banned employees from having online shopping

the numbers of "white vans" milling around.

Whatever happened to that scheme to have online shopping delivered to
your suburban station, for collection on the way home?

I've seen Amazon lockers at Stratford (London) and Newbury Park
stations recently.

The scheme I recall was shops, I think; because you could dispatch stuff
as well as pick it up. Perhaps in spaces in the station where ticket
offices had been vacated.

Yes, that was mentioned, though I've not yet noticed any former ticket
offices reused for other purposes. Most still seem to be occupied by the
remaining station staff, and of course the ticket machines are often
attached to the walls of the offices, with access required to their rear.
