One of the good points about the Steam Powered TGX Ticket Machines is how they will eventually spell the end of the "Change Ticket" nonsense.

It is now taking so long to issue individual change tickets that the passenger has already walked off and the following one gets the golden document...
Bearing in mind that the Change Ticket has to be acccompanied by the relevant journey ticket for redemption then it wont be long before people begin to bang their shoes on the counter at 59 O Connell St.

Its like having Charles Dickens back amongst us trying to master a PC....
