Thank you, ChrisB, for posting: that latest typeface is so much clearer.  Smiley

Just arrived at Clapham Junction.

Just been quoted £200 to use it on the Coffee Shop.  I don't think I can get a better price by splitting A to L and L to Z into separate purchases either.  Giving it a miss for our automated totems.

Would it be cheaper if you only paid for the letter L once?   Grin

But if you're splitting don't you have to include the split point in both halves of the journey. And as neither purchase would be a rover / season, you would have to include an L in every place name typeset.
