INIT - Ticket Machines

[P419 EJW]

Yeah, that's true, you can't really tell if it's valid or not when it's completely creased and scrunched up. Are there any extra security features with the new one or is it just the pattern in the background again?

Daysavers will have a word of the day at the top and bottom.

Thermal paper. Text is heated on rather than ink so it will never fade like the old ink tickets. The date can not be sctratched out either

On the drivers screen, is the number next to Late/Early the time in minutes? If so my 55 this morning was running 97 minutes early! 😂

Wolves 6759 has the new equipment.

Is the full name for them 'Initiative', or was that auto-correct messing up?

with 2 x tridents being transferred from wn with these new machines, are they loaded with all nxwm info so that a bus could go to work at any garage?

The old ticket machines can work from any garage, never mind the new ones.

I managed to log in to PB33 once by mistake when putting in AG31 into the ticket machine.

They can't. They are garage specific, you have to change the keyboard each time a bus is transferred

In that case, I stand corrected lol.

Correct me if Im wrong but there's no duplicated service numbers within Brum & Solihull is there?

It would only be a problem if the bus transfers to the Black Country & / or Coventry from Brum garages or vice versa or within the Black Country area.

Was there an issue when vehicles transferred under the old numbering system or was that down to memory of the machine?

[Tony]

For the ticket machines there's no duplicated numbers in the West Midlands.

Yes, init does hold them all

46 Birmingham - Perry Barr 46 West Brom - Great Barr

So the driver at Perry Barr put in pb46
The driver at west brom puts in wb46
Then the ticket machine knows which one is which  simple
