SWT have new software on their (S&B) self-service ticket machines
I'm quite impressed
Features include-
-basket for single payment for multiple ticket purchase
-a nice spelling feature where you can only select letters that would help to spell a real station name eg for Brighton select B and then only
A, E, I, C, O, R, U and Y can be chosen next
This helps to avoid mis-spellings which are a problem with TVMs (i find) especially if someone is waiting behind
-ability to change various aspects of a fare once selected eg change anytime day return to off-peak day return without having to go back to square one
only one problem i found was that when selecting tickets for "tomorrow" on Saturday night it didn't seem to be aware that the next day was off-peak all day
