Default Why is LU separate from National Rail?

That sounds crazy to me - the only way in which Bus Savers and Bus Passes
can be sold at NR stations is for TfL to take them over?


No: the only way in which TfL can ensure that they are sold at NR
stations is to take them over.

You should be writing to SWT and asking *them* why they aren't selling
the tickets.


It could be done, NR stations could effectively become "Pass Agents" like
newsagents shops throughout London and sell TfL products albeit with
another machine at each window.

However I suspect the accountants and auditors of the TOCs somehow won't
allow it as it....
