Buy from Southeastern or any of the other train operating companies. Nationalrail.co.uk will direct you to these.
Thanks yes I have only bought from southeastern in the past.
So there is a kiosk at the Lhr underground where I can pick it up? Normally I would have gone to the two kiosks next to the ticket office at STP that always have a line.
Another frustrating thing is the ticket doesn't say what platform. I do know it's usually 5 or 6 (the escalators in front of the Starbucks and that sushi place) but from there I have to flag down an employee to find out what platform the next express/fast train to Ashford International is. Ugh.
