I would also comment that I would not trust the "One" ticket office at
Walthamstow Central to sell me anything more complicated than a ticket
to Liverpool St. If I want something complex (i.e. any ticket I would
buy as I have privilege facilities and cannot book on line) I go to a
big station with a decent travel centre and try to book in advance as
the risk of a 30 minute queue when I have 10 minutes to catch a train is
far too great. Liverpool St struggled to sell me a one day PlusBus
ticket for Colchester earlier this year (on top of a normal return
ticket) - this despite the window in question having a dispenser of
PlusBus leaflets on it.

In days of yore (when APTIS still reigned supreme), I wouldn't trust my
local "one" (ex-WAGN) Ticket Office to issue anything more complex than
an undiscounted single or return to somewhere on their "Top 24" list!

I bought an NSE-discounted Travelcard there once, and the clerk issued
it as a Y-P one, and refused to reissue it correctly, saying "Well the
discount's the same, so it's okay", or words to that effect!

On the subject of PlusBus, ATOC have *finally* created a new ticket type
for the add-ons. (Which used to be variously issued as "Bus Day Single",
"Bus Day Return" or "Bus Period Return"). The ticket type in question is
"PlusBus Day", and has a ticket type code of PBD.

Tickets should be issued from the appropriate railhead to the PlusBus
destination (full list in Section B1 of the Rail Links Manual, or check
www.plusbus.info).
