(26 May 2017, 10:25 am)Michael These new ticket machines are nothing but trouble.
Wouldn't allow the driver to log in, then it wouldn't accept my ticket (before anyone asks, doesn't run out until middle of June), then it wouldn't let the driver put a smartzone ticket on to a pass....
Not really just the tickets machines, but it seems the drivers have not be trained properly on them. Twice this week I have had Wrekenton Bus Link as a starting point on the ticket (apparently going to Old Mineral Lane!). And today the driver couldn't issue a £3.95 day ticket to someone and she didn't even realize she hasn't updated the boarding stage when I got off.
And the ticket machines always say Wallsend Centre to Dorest Avenue no matter where you get on the 40 or 41 so they are not updated on there either.
