Hi there,
I've got one of the East Midlands Trains Smartcards. I got it thinking it'd make my travel a bit simpler.

Hmmm....

So far the *only* place I have had it register correctly and without fuss is at Beeston station. Absolutely everywhere else it won't register or flags up an error message. I have yet to complete a single journey with it working for all stages.
(It seems that it needs a clear line of sight to an ATOS office for it to work! :) )

It appears not an uncommon problem as many of the gateline staff roll thier eyes and the chattier ones comment about yet another one not working.

Am I cursed :) or is the whole EMT smartcard system really quite unreliable?
Cheers,
Jason
