That article is dated July last year - so we already know about that, but it doesn't seem anything will be arriving just yet. Maybe the end of the year or 2018.

I'm sure the passengers on the 51 plate B7TL/ALX400's with threadbare seats will love the fact it's got a state of the art ticket machine....

Well Diamond is in the same boat.

New ticket machines, fleet of various ages!

By the way,is the Nx machine going to use the same scanners & fareboxes already installed or not?

I do recall someone on the forum telling me the setup will differ from Diamond's; as a result, the farebox and ticket printer will not be rendered redundant.

Open to correction, but that is my understanding. :) @Westy

The new ticket machines use the same cash vaults, but everything else is new

[mranon]

so does this mean new printers which will make the ticket more readable? also will they be placed where the current ones are situated

They will have new printers, but not sure about positioning.

Is there any news on new buses?

You never need to ask that question. When there's news, it'll be posted. If it hasn't then there's no news.
