Not, IMO, an unreasonable plan. *Most German underground systems have only a very few open one or two days a month for season ticket renewals, and it is expected that if you want a single, return or day ticket you just use the machine. LUL happen to sell quite a lot of obscure through tickets onto the mainline and the likes, but there is no logical reason why they should *have* to, any more than I should reasonably be able to buy an off-peak return to Reddish South via Kempston Hardwick and Thurso with a railcard, paying partly in rail travel vouchers and partly by credit card, from the driver of my local bus. There would have to be a dramatic change in the maintenance of the machines. Do the German stations have a majority of machines with at least one function disabled (eg taking cash, taking cards, giving change, working at all)? |
