Serves them right for updating it!!  Wink
AVB 2 is far superior to AVB 1, much quicker and doesn't make stupid clicking noises when you tap the screen!

Had AVB2 for over a year now, never had any problems, apart from the chip and pin pads that never ever work!

... especially for transactions of less than a pound, apparently?   Wink

Seriously, vacman: all credit to on-board staff for selling tickets efficiently - our platform machines at Nailsea are often OOU▸ (out of use) due to rain, and last week our guard actually phoned ahead to BTM▸ (Bristol Temple Meads (strictly, it should be BRI)) to warn them they'd have a rush on to sell tickets at the barriers there, as he'd exhausted his two rolls of tickets on board already.

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.

I agree - but it's so fast you can't count the change before the ticket comes out!

Issue a credit note to get your change at the nearest staffed station, worked a treat in BR▸ (British Rail(ways)) days.

They are the ones who i normally get rid of all my change on! And I'm not talking pound coins! Saves me counting it at the end of a shift when I'm rushing to go home, and the look on their face is priceless when they realise what you are doing, and they suddenly find a pound coin! Which I refuse and tell them i have their change sorted now! Cheesy
