Chiltern are doing a limited experiment with contactless payment for
Singles and Returns (including, strangely, Senior Railcard discounts,
but *only* Senior Railcard discount) from Great Missenden to Marylebone.

You can't just "touch in" at Great Missenden and out at Marylebone,
instead you buy a "ticket" from a reprogrammed Parkeon Strada car park
payment machine at Great Missenden, which prints a slightly modified
car park type ticket.

East Coast badly need contactless payment at their car park machines.
Not only do you have to pay through the nose, but they are incredibly
slow taking card payments currently.
