The Fares and Tickets leaflet says "For full details visit

It does say "You will need to get an Oyster card and have your Railcard
discount concession loaded on it", which sort-of implies that you have to
start from scratch with a new Oyster card.

Which will shaft a lot of students who already have the Oyster photocards
(some of us with season tickets loaded onto them).

It claims that you can do this at an LU or LO ticket office, so a double
complaint is justified.

I may try it, but Wanstead Park doesn't have much of a ticket office and the
queues at Stratford are insane. Where's likely to be a good ticket office to
try? Preferably somewhere where a lot of students are likely to have tried?
