Are you sure it is TFL making the decision, the tfl website says that
ticket shops can still sell 1 day travelcards (http://
ticketlocator.tfl.gov.uk/ticket_stop.asp). Maybe the newsagent doesn't
want to sell them anymore due to lack of demand. I don't know whether
the ticket shops have to pay for the kit though.
