But they are getting better. For example, a few of the ticket machines
in Amsterdam now take UK plastic. At one time I think it was only a
subset of debit cards though.


2 years ago Schiphol did, but no other station on the Dutch network
without a ticket office would accept anything other than Euro coins
and Maestro debit cards.

I can't understand why, if they can do it in one location, they can't
do it throughout. They are after all the same machines.
