The change was deliberate, intended to reduce the sale of paper tickets by encouraging people to use contactless payments instead...if you try to buy a single or return ticket instead of a travelcard, it will suggest using a contactless card instead.
TfL has seen a noticeable drop in paper ticket sales since the change was introduced in September 2023, aligning with their goal of reducing magnetic stripe ticket sales and offering cheaper fares to customers.
