I have a couple of questions:

- Is it correct that a national rail station cannot sell a zone 1-D
weekend travelcard (or a zone 1-D day travelcard)?

Yes.

- If it is correct, how should I buy this ticket in Croydon, several
miles from the nearest underground station, but within the London
Transport area?

You can't. They can only be sold at Underground stations, for reasons
best known to TfL.

I tried to do something similar at Richmond. Ticketman said I needed to go to a
London Underground station to do the deed. WTF? Isn't Richmond a London
Underground station, or am I missing something really obvious?
