I'm travelling from Upminster to Oxford Parkway (return) using Network Card. If leaving Upminster before 10.00 but London after 10.00 I usually book from Upminster and use Oyster Card to Marylebone, saving a little.
Today the person in Upminster booking office refused to sell me a ticket with railcard before 10.00 as 'I might use it to travel to London'. Previously I've bought tickets before 10.00 from Upminster ticket office and of course if I buy online I can pick it up anytime. Was she correct to refuse to sell me the ticket before 10.00? She sold me one from Marylebone instead.
