Automatic Ticket Machines
Friday, 25 March 2011

A word of caution when buying tickets via an ATM at railway stations.

It has come to our notice that ATM's are not always giving out the
correct tickets around the non peak hours. For instance one of our
members bought a ticket for Lincoln 'just before' boarding the train at
a few minutes before non-peak rate was due to start . He was shocked to
find that he was issued a ' peak' ticket not a non-peak rate ticket, at
the extra cost. This was taken up with the TOC which were aware of this
and say that the issue was with the software and will be addressed in
the near future.

As ATM are now common place we would strongly advise you to check the
price of your ticket before travelling and if in any doubt get it at
the booking office.
