Personally I fail to see why we cannot just walk up to a ticket machine
to customize the properties of the card - so that the first time each
day we use the ticket, the amount for our chosen travelcard is taken off
and the ticket converted there and then for the rest of the day.


Then why not just buy a ticket? The advantage of oyster is supposed
to be that you don't have to go to ticket machines or ticket offices
every day.

I meant walk up to a machine once - to use some configuration options.
These would then be stored on the card, and used when you go through the
barrier. (until you change the settings back)
