I suppose the fact that Offpeak (and Super Offpeak) tickets and e.g. Network
Card discounts don't appear on the machines until they become valid makes it
unlikely they'd appear the night before. Although pre-paid ticket
collection (which I haven't used becasue SWT haven't provided it yet)
presumably provides a way round this??

What SWT are calling an 'enhancement' is simply providing the facilities
such as pre-paid ticket collection (TOD) and tickets for next day travel
that many TOCs already provide.
Not sure about monthly season renewal availability generally though.
One planned facility that appears to be a real enhancement is intended to be
inclusive tickets for attractions such as Chessington, apparently due next
summer...
