Missed that, sorry!Indeed, and I said so above.
Think I'd agree that that makes sense.But I think in an ideal world the default station offered in cases like this would be the starting station for the first journey to be made, not a later one.
I think as ToD has become widespread, asking for it in most cases has become irrelevant - however, I acknowledge there are still some parts of the network with poor ToD support, and so I think if I was writing the spec today I'd stipulate that if the earliest origin station didn't have facilities, then you need to ask (and in all cases, before payment!)It's quite important though, at times. Some months ago I bought a ticket on the LNER app for a journey involving Merseyrail and was happy with ToD. However, it was after payment that the app gave me the option of selecting a collection station and it didn't include the station I was departing from less than 30 minutes later which had no facilities.
I can't see that there are that many folks who commonly collect from somewhere other than their first origin when it has ToD facilities.
