ThamesLink ticket office without problems. The staff at the
ThamesLink ticket office at St.Pancras are useless and frequently
sell me the wrong tickets then have to cancel them, and then re-issue
what I requested in the first place. Frankly a ticket machine would
be better - except they don't offer the extension tickets I need. CJB

I routinely buy exactly such tickets from the machines at Overghround
stations (including the Senior Railcard discount). Or, at least, I
think I do. Am I dreaming? If so, my partner is too (unless I am
dreaming her too).
