And yet they seem to be ahead on selling Oyster, or maybe that's only
at Lewisham, where they definitely sell it at the counter now* and
there's a card-only machine (which often doesn't work when I go there
for the purpose).

One might suppose that this would be to do with the DLR, except that
the DLR doesn't sell Oyster.

*Actually they disappear off to some other part of the ticket office
to do it, but at least they can.
