I may try it, but Wanstead Park doesn't have much of a ticket office and

Mile End or Bow Road for you maybe? Large student populations there. I
do hope they can set it up onto my current Oyster card. I'm going to
try tomorrow at Turnpike Lane or Manor House, and will report back.

Mile End is not a good ticket office for trying anything vaguely complicated
because the station tends to accumulate a long queue with nowhere for people
to easily queue. I could try Bow Road but it's off my beaten track, whereas
central London is less so and, IMHO, tends to be better for doing
complicated things but with a new option I'd ideally want somewhere where
there's a hope of training than where I've got to find and produce a
leaflet.
