was an invoice, but surely I shouldn't have to carry that round with me.

Same here. There was a reference in the documentation that an RC
should be enclosed, but I didn't get one. Also noticed that the
credit card receipts one gets using the big machines at Tube stations
aren't much use, as they only show the date of the transaction, which
isn't much use if you're renewing a Travelcard a few days in advance.

The ticket machines DO issue a record card as well as a credit card receipt.

The little "quick ticket" credit card only ones don't (or didn't, at Archway,
for a weekly about three weeks ago).

Oh, the touch screen machines do. Maybe it's worth sending an email to tfl
to suggest all ticket machines behave the same way?

Indeed. One could even be posted out when a ticket is purchased
online. This is (as I've said before) how MK Metro handle dodgy cards
or buses without machines (or with failed ones), and seems a decent
enough solution.

Obviously won't work for pre-pay, but it is suited to all seasons, and
even initially to day travelcards.

The ticket machine at Woodside Park doesn't when selling a weekly.

I got one when I renewed my monthly ticket at Canning Town using a
normal ticket machine and paying in cash.

Hello. I'm one of those "roaring fascists of the left wing".

It's almost as if you've got a choice...You can have EITHER a Credit
Card Receipt OR a Record Card, but not both. And then only if you renew
at one of the big Multi-Fare Machines.

HTH,

I tried that this morning. Bought a weekly pass with a credit card
and didn't request a receipt. Still no record card :-(
