Showing ticket restrictions on a TVM

« on: April 02, 2023, 13:42:08 »

Went to buy an off-peak travelcard from my local GWR^▸ station.

As you can see from the attached picture, it's not possible to determine the restriction code on the ticket because the prompt to press the pay now button obscures part of the restriction code. Didn't anyone test this?

There is the backup of the QR^▸ code I suppose. For those who can use, or know how to use them.

Agree though. Not very clever programming.

It's made worse for Travelcards because the printed ticket only refers to "advertised terms and conditions" and not the URL for the restriction code.
