wondered what these were for.


Probably. In my day they were proper tickets, pretty
colours and punched by the conductor!


So violence on public transport is nothing new then? :-))


There must have been many a time when unruly schoolchildren sat next to the
aisle on an RT/RTL, etc. were "accidentally on purpose" clouted on the head,
thereby re-arranging the grey cells, by a strategically height-adjusted
Gibson ticket machine!
Law and order/ peace and quiet for everyone else ... :-)

Have a nice Day
