The railway doesn't provide them. AFAIK ticket machines won't sell you a
new Oyster card, but Ticket Stops are supposed to. And anyway, if having
a station nearby was good enough, then surely ticket stops would have
never existed near any tube station.

I think they're driven more by newsagents wanting to provide a service
and considering it profitable than TfL approaching newsagents asking
them to offer it. So there will be some duplication and gaps.
