Depends what you call a "problem". The railway ticket machines

and that was perhaps 20 years ago. Switzerland has been fine
every time I've been there.

Whether Switzerland is fine or not, the ticket machines are not
plastic-friendly.

In both cases, I expect, I've had no problems using plastic at a ticket
office.

I think they charge you extra for buying a ticket at a manned
office (assuming there's one open).

In Switzerland? New since I lat went there, then.

And I don't speak a word of Dutch.

You do, but don't realise it.

Ho, ho. You'll be telling me I understand Hungarian next because I know
what a coach is.
