The concept of ticket offices and machines which only sell one

HEX is not a TOC

All right. If you want to split hairs, maybe I should have said "the TOC
which runs the HEx service".



There isn't a TOC which runs the HEX service. HEX is operated by HEX for the
BAA.

It is not splitting hairs, it is making the point that sounding off about
TOCs and public service obligations is irrelevant in this case. HEX has no
public service obligations, it is a privately owned business that can do what
it legally likes. If you don't like it, don't use it.

Also (not you) some people ought to be careful before they post libellous
rubbish about such organisations, you never know when m'learned friends might
take an interest.
