[on the move]

I checked the coin during the issue. It was a standard Spanish Euro coin, that is widely available. The coin was accepted by another non-train ticket vending machine.

During it too, a more common issue arose, where change wasn't available in one machine. Payment can be made with cards, but that isn't always practical or possible. The booking office wasn't open in the station at the time.

It was disappointing to not make the train after all that, but if it happened at a remote station in the country, the issue could either lead to fare evasion, or severely inconvenience the plans of passengers concerned. Neither situation is acceptable nor should it be allowed to happen by IE.
