NX ticket machines have a seperate machine for the ticket printer, card reader and ticket machine.
Diamond also have a qr code scanner for return tickets on theres that NX don't have, that and the ticket printer, card reader and ticket machine are all in one on Diamonds machines.

Overheard AG drivers are getting ticket machine training yesterday, is it not long before they get there new machines now then?

According to a post by Tony, the ticket fitting team are at YW so I would imagine AG is probably next.

[Tony]

Fitting team start at AG next Tuesday

Does that mean then all garages will have been completed once AG has the new INIT machines installed @Tony?

Has BC had its remainder of Buses done? As the Platniums were done so the X1 could accept contactless, not forgetting the new batch of Platniums.

No, still 115 vehicles at BC to do

Ok Tony thank you, wasn't completely sure if AG was the last garage or not

Anyone else noticing that with these new ticket machines some buses are leaving a minute early? Like, it might say "on time" on the machine but the live time things on the bus stop still show a minute before

Yes they're allowed to bud

Yes they're allowed to bud

Really? Even from timing points like the start of the route?

Yeah, you're allowed to drop a minute.

Traffic commissioner allows 1 minute early or 5 mins late before he considers the journey non compliant.
