Would the German idea work on UK trains?

Vandalism seems common at certain stations. Burley Park Station in Leeds can't have a TVM that accepts cash apparently, because of constant vandalism.

How the metro systems of this country with unmanned stations/stops (e.g. Tramlink, Metrolink, T&W Metro e.t.c) deal with this sort of thing must be interesting.

I don't know about robbery figures but I have heard of quite a few cases, hence why ticket machines outside in a car park may have bollards to prevent them being rammed by a car.

Info about a case here

Same reason why Steeton & Silsden has a card only machine. The last time it got a cash ticket machine it broken into at least twice. After the last time, it was removed.

That CCTV at Denham is classic.

Build them like an ATM machine, sturdy construction with scratch proof screen.

Scratch proof yes. Brick proof no.
