I recently had a till roll ticket issued at Huntingdon Station for a journey to Peterborough, as the barriers now have the barcode readers.
The assistant mentioned that they have had them before TFL will be having them
Going off topic don't most companies have staff id cards with your picture on which is also used to access areas of the building where you are permitted to do so as well facial recognition for clocking on and off
Just wondering the next time i have to purchase this type of ticket would it be better to use contactless as the magstripe seems to fail easily as i have been stuck at a unmanned tfl
station with no staff to assist
I have had this happen to me especially when using a one day travelcard must recentley at Upton Park when despite using the point which just rang with no answer and went dead and there was no staff that i could see anywhere travelcards seem the most prone to failing
Didn't the former the royal arsenal railway have a comprehensive network of internal railways of different gauges as well as a link to the main network ?
A good book i can recommend if any is interested is Mod Railways by Michael Hitchen
Not sure if this is the right place to post this but was just wondering if there is any data for the failure rate of the magstripe
having had three failures and getting totally stuck at one station due failure of the help point

next to the actual line judging by the trains passing by
Yes had one of the grey ones installed in the village a long time which i can see by looking out of the window as well as two of the large and small grey ones within in the last two years presumably for the newish estate if anyone wants to sign up
