Default Chaos likely when they close ticket windows at King's Cross St. Pancras

Not at Schipol or Amsterdam Central etc. - all the ticket machines
throughout the Nederlands refuse to 'speak' English.


You what? They have an English option. But even if they didn't, they
are not at all hard to navigate.


One of the things I liked about them was a poster on the front giving an
example of how to navigate the UI - and the example was a ticket from
Centraal to Schiphol.

On the other hand, I never did get the hang of the ticket machines on
the Metro in Lisbon, which didn't have an "English" option.
