Glad it's not just me that gets annoyed by that!

(Cologne was doing that when I first visited it in my teens [1975].)


Antwerpen did it to me...

The ticket machines on the Grenoble tramway say "Croydon Tramlink
wishes you a good journey" if you select the English option!


Hee !

When I last looked the London leaflets were just translations of the
English ones and did not feel it necessary to explain that underground
tickets were inclusive of any changes but a new bus ticket was needed
for each bus taken.

Has this yet been considered ?
