INIT - Ticket Machines

[karl724223]

We still have lots of faults on ours. The scanner seems to get confused eaay and the red screen comes on it. You have to wave people with smart cards past until it wakes up. Sometimes you even have to manually reboot it.

The other is that they have not been instaiied properly and the screen with the times does not come on when pulling away. Fed up of putting it on the VCR now

we still have some faults on ours
We're told the same put fault on Vcr
Our best fault so far is the scanner won't read passes outside quinton cemetery on x10 move to next stop it reads them

That sounds like a grave error.

On the 529 vehicles, theirs say in the right hand say 'Late 5' etc.

Is that supposed to be the amount of time the bus is late by, as the 529 I catch in the morning seems to be regulary late?

6861 is the first bus at BC to be fitted. Any of this batch in service on Monday will be Init

Pensnett might be finished tonight excluding buses off site and buses to come from bc which might be done at another garage

[MW]

buses to come from bc which might be done at another garage

Have you ruined the surprise? Pensnett are definitely getting more attention than deserved. I miss the days when it just got the cast offs and the rest of us got decent buses 😂

1903's reader played up and as soon as we reached the next stop it worked. Some fault.

Validator could have been rebooted or it might have lost signal provided by vodaphone

Was saying 'No Connection' so it probably lost signal, first time I've seen this happen, apparently PB drivers have been cussing them.

14 of walsalls buses have now been done overnight, most 10 branded tridents

[Westy]

Have seen some of the Walsall B7Lre's with the new machines as well.

@Tony Could you ask the relavant dept the following question please?

A few years ago, there was a promotional ticket wallet for the Daysavers, which fitted the now old style tickets.

Are there plans in the future to reissue these wallets to fit the new style tickets?
