Magnetic stripe tickets
"Jim Brittin" wrote in message m... In article , says... Martin Rich wrote: Again as mentioned elsewhere in the thread, the whole of the back of the ticket was a magnetic surface. However these tickets were much smaller than the current tube tickets. Same size as a 'proper' Edmondson ticket IIRC Oxide-backed rapidprinter tickets for single and return journeys normally only showed day and month, the earliest I have with a year showing is dated November 1968. There were certainly weekly season tickets of this type issued in 1970. From memory I think that Hammersmith was used experimentally for oxide tickets prior to the opening of the Victoria Line, and Stamford Brook and Turnham Green for non-oxide tickets showing barcodes. AFAIK oxide Edmondsons didn't appear until 1979. Thanks for all your responses. Are there any books on (LT including LU) ticket history? |
