the vast majority are already live. you can load season tickets onto a smartcard at any TVM. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- onboard staff use the credit card readers to check and it fires back info to the avantix about what travel products are on the card

I'll bear that in mind in future, maybe I was getting a bit hasty --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Nope, I'm one of the most legit people in my circle! Hard to believe, but almost all my friends try getting a half when they board and I usually get my railcard fare from the...

I used conductor instead of ticket inspector - there are no conductors on this service, as they are all DOO Probably, I really don't know. Check your PM I wasn't being a smart alec really, I was just backing up a friend of mine to try stop her getting ripped off. And I am not testing...
