What is involved in replacing a corrupted paper weekly travel card.
Mine wont work in any gates and it is begining to be a pain in the
arse. Its not too bad at manned stations (where the gates are manned I
mean) but at manned stations where only the booking office is manned it
is getting to be a nuisance.
I asked about a new ticket but was told it would take a long time to
issue.
Why can't they just issue a new ticket and take the old one?

I don't know - but is it really an issue on a weekly, when today is
Thursday..... a monthly or longer ticket is a different animal
altogether.

Why not go to Oyster, it's far less hassle (I find).
