Ticket wallets are available free on request at most staffed stations. They will only have SWT on them if you ask in SWT-land. Here in the Northern Territories, they say Northern.

I dunno. You can keep more things separate in a three-compartment one (eg season, photocard, other tickets), but the third bit flaps in the way when you need to show it to someone.
I'll stick with the three-compartment one, because it makes me feel classier, but sometimes I miss the convenient simplicity of the two- compartment one.

The last two times that I have bought a new railcard they have been "out of stock".
I was beginning to think that they had stopped issuing them

Exactly. For a simple "season + photocard" setup, a two-leaf one does the trick nicely. It can be opened up with one hand. A three-leafer needs two hands, and you have to open it up or the third leaf hides the second.

I've just taken to putting mine in my wallet. It's rare for the photocard to need to be shown, and if it does my wallet has a clear plastic bit by the credit cards that is perfect for the job, while the ticket can come out easily for barriers and I won't forget it or risk dropping it out of my pocket like it is easy to do with a traditional ticket wallet.

I used to put my season in the top section and photocard in the middle section. That way a quick flip would reveal the ticket, leaving the photocard hidden. Only rarely was I asked to show the photocard section.
