Nee chance of getting the date from it though. I'd rather pay £1 for a child fare to where I want to be than buy a £9.70 ticket off them.
I never have the problem with Stagecoach tickets though, despite them being the same type of ticket and machine!
If you use Stagecoach a lot you will find that it does happen so it isn't just GNE... I've had it happen plenty of times but the ticket is still normally accepted
