International disgrace - look at the Dutch state railway TVM issues
(unless they've fixed it?).


I want CJB to show us one, just one, tourist in London for the

I'm thinking of visitng Blighty from the True North later this year
(after the Olys), and do not possess a debit card, nor have any
intention of obtaining one.

So it's credit card or cash.


So that's fine: all the machines take them.
