Yes, I know this is 'old fashioned' as you can use Oyster or just contactless cards these days on TfL services - but a friend, who is not computer literate and does not possess either an Oyster card or contactless card - has asked me if I can buy them a paper London Travelcard. They are being driven up to Ruislip, but wish to get a Travelcard in advance of their travels.

This is easy at any staffed ticket office, but I am unable to get any of the online ticket engines to sell me one. I can select West Ruislip as the 'from' station and 'London Travelcard zones 1-6' as the 'to' station, but when I click on 'Find Tickets'/'Search' or whatever, it just returns the message 'We haven't been able to find any trains that meet your search'.

I am probably missing the obvious, but as both the GWR and SWR websites tell me I can buy a Travelcard online, how do I go about buying one?

Try the Southeastern website.

I bought Travelcards from them over the weekend. I chose Bromley South and Enfield Town (first 'destination' that popped into my head!) and there was a Travelcard option at the top of the fare selection page.

You should then be able to select collection from any National Rail station.
