I'm assuming although different operators, the way you do it should be the same?  Anyway, it worked with me using the drivers machine twice, and I'll see what I'm charged !

The reason most operators are fitting these extra tap off points is to simply speed up the boarding/alighting process, allowing the system to do both at once.

I wanted to give it a go but didn't want to risk embarrassing myself.

It can slightly slow down the process of people getting on and off though, it's not quite as efficient as similar services I've used in places like Riga where they have several doors to disembark from.

(22 Mar 2023, 11:45 am)Thomas12 wrote Yeah, it worked fine. The driver actually suggested to use it to passengers, and explained they would have to tap off when they got to their destination.

(23 Mar 2023, 11:31 am)F114TML wrote I was on a 22 last week and the driver seemed to be telling people to use it.

No one did, and it kept making the beeping noise ticketers make when they accept a card payment, but still.

(23 Mar 2023, 11:32 am)streetdeckfan wrote I used it again on my way back and it worked perfectly.

The driver was telling others to use it, and to tap out when they got off, but nobody did.

I suppose it doesn't really matter with the £2 ticket

(23 Mar 2023, 12:07 pm)mb134 wrote I forgot to tap out on my way home last night, ironically just after I'd posted about how good my experience had been with it, and noticed this morning that it had been noted as incomplete but also has a button to give me the option to raise a correction request. I assume for genuine, one off, cases after the £2 fares end that this will be quite useful for people who forget to tap off.

I imagine Arriva will be lenient with the first request or two an individual makes, but afterwards will probably clamp down hard.

I.e.....passenger goes out on a 306/308 then comes back on a 307/309?

Or.....passenger gets 1 from Bedlington Station to Blyth then 309 to Whitley Bay?
