Does the Elizabeth Line core section (i.e. those stations manged by London Underground) have standard National Rail ticket retailing and collection facilities, whether in the form of ticket machines or a ticket office? Or are they supplied with standard LU TVMs which only do a very small subset of NR tickets?

LU TVM's but I'm not sure what range of NR tickets are sold.

At Tottenham Court Road, the Dean Street building has the same TVMs that are used at London Overground stations, which integrates NR and TfL ticketing. But the same model of TVM are used at Battersea Power Station and Nine Elms on the Northern line extension.

The LU station building at TCR has the older style POMs.

Paddington has the tfl rail branded national rail ticket machines on the Elizabeth line platforms you can see them in the background when the queen is there

Whitechapel despite being a LU managed station has the integrated NR/TfL TVMs as well.

I tried to collect some tickets from them on launch day as the option was there.
Unfortunately a message (can't remember it) to say it wasn't possible.
I wonder if this has been fixed?

Was at Farringdon (Elizabeth line) side earlier. The ticket office closed, but the TVM do offer National Rail tickets, apart from the type I needed. Lady after me wanted to collect tickets as well.

For what it's worth, at Farringdon the ticket office and TVMs on the Thameslink and Elizabeth line side (i.e. south side of Cowcross St) are all managed by GTR and branded Thameslink - in other words they're not run by MTR Elizabeth line.

The TVMs are standard Scheidt & Bachmann models (and offer TOD collection as you would expect).
