In message , at 10:23:21 on Tue, 9 Sep 2014, Paul Corfield remarked: Inspectors request a print out from the ticket machine on boarding the bus. This has a list of any CPCs used on that trip which the inspectors then use to check against any cards presented by a passenger. A wonderfully manual way of implementing an e-ticket system! It's not a particularly stupid way of doing occasional ticket inspections. As bad as MegaTrain, where they check off your P@H tickets from a manual list at the gateline. No, it's completely different. What you describe for Megatrain (who dat?) sounds like something they do all the time, for all journeys. What Mr. Corfield describes is something that will happen occasionally, for a tiny minority of journeys. "TfL is starting to issue inspectors with portable card readers which will be able to read the card???s recent journey history." Which contradicts what I thought I'd read about contactless card technology and the ability to store recent transactions on the card ... That could be a poor description of a device that reads the card's number from the card and checks that it has been used to pay for a fare on that bus. -- David Cantrell | London Perl Mongers Deputy Chief Heretic Are you feeling bored? depressed? slowed down?
