Many years ago, I loaded a huge wad of National Rail Travel Vouchers (the ones that used to be green) and London Underground's equivalent (the blue and red ones) onto my Oyster card at a tube station.

I now have a number of Rail Travel Vouchers again (slightly bluer these days), nearing expiry.

Is it still possible to load these onto an Oyster card, if so, where can I get this done? I travel into London from the SWR area and work near Aldgate.

I'll give Liverpool Street a try next time I'm there. I would've tried Shoreditch High Street, but haven't had good experiences with LO stations and National Rail matters.

I was passing Fenchurch Street today and popped in there.

Three windows, only one can do Oyster (it's the only one that still has Cubic FasTIS). That window was closed, but they fetched someone to open it. Three minutes later, the vouchers were on my Oyster card.

Good service and much friendly than at my local SWR station.

Yes LO ticket offices don't always admit that LO is a National Rail TOC and may (incorrectly) refuse to accept RTVs.

If that happens, be sure to lodge a complaint.

You did better than I did back in 2015. :D:D

Day 1 get there at about 1:15. "Sorry machine closed at 1"
Day 2 get there at 1."Sorry machine not open until 1:45"
Day 3 get there at 1:45. "Sorry machine closed at 1:30"
Day 4 went to Tower Hill and got it done in 10 mins
