I was shocked that we can't even buy an Oyster card at a main entry port to London (Clapham Junction), that I need to exit the station first, walk to the street, and find a convenience store to buy it. The machines in the station do not sell Oyster card, neither does the ticket office.
It seems that it's a huge inconvenience to visitors visiting London by train. I know that London Underground machines sell them, but Clapham Junction isn't connected to the underground.
Clapham Junction is the most used railway station in the whole of Great Britain, but it doesn't even sell an Oyster card! Imagine if someone visiting London enters it using a small station not connected to the underground and need to connect to a bus for the final destination, then he's doomed, as London Buses don't even accept cash.
Why doesn't the machines in the Oyster area sell Oyster cards?
