Yes, from the Multifare machines, but only if the ticket office
machines are all closed.

Umm, why so?

Not sure what LUs thinking is on this one, perhaps they prefer to
'vet' prospective Platform Ticket purchasers like me!

The ticket office was open in this case anyway.
Surely the Multifare should offer the same tickets whether the ticket
office is open or closed???

It does, except the Platform option is missing if any of the TOMs are
on shift.

If the ticket office had been closed, the gateline would have been open
and I might have chance going without a platform ticket...

No, the gateline would only be open if there were no staff on the
gateline, irrespective of the status of the ticket office.

I witnessed exactly this situation recently at Canary Wharf, ticket
office closed, machines on, gateline closed.
