Technically, the TVM▸ at NCO is working, just not for card payments (and hasn't been since installation).
Are you saying that it accepts 'cash only' transactions?  Surely that's a recipe for disaster (as has been the case at other railway station locations, which are thus seen as a soft touch by those of a crowbar / pickaxe wielding inclination)  |

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

It has the ability to take both cash and card transactions, only the card reader has not worked since the station opened.

Strange occurrence on FGW▸ twitter feed today, a passenger claiming that 7am from NCO is off-peak, which is backed up from the twitter team, where as the off peak fares are marked restriction W4, which is 0844.

Appears to be a fault with how Journey Planners are implementing the restriction (WG)
I've raised it with the fares team.

I work next door to it on Fridays, and had to walk to the Co-op for some cash for my lunch.

Don't they sell food at the Coop? Surely that would have been more nutritious than cash! |

Given the demographic of the Newcourt station catchment it might be suggested that having a TVM▸ which accepts cash is not very sensible.

Have you tasted a Co-op sandwich? Shirehampton is one of the few places actively campaigning for a Tesco to open. I hope Newcourt fares better. Other supermarkets are available. |

Shirehampton with its two Co-ops 50yds apart. And their refusal to allow another food store into the former Somerfield where they have the freehold. The Original Factory Shop went in there instead. I believe there's another empty retail unit in Shirehampton owned by the Co-operative where they are refusing competing businesses to use. And refusing to sell to a landlord who may lease to a competitor.

I hope Newcourt doesn't have similar problems (said he, getting back to the thread). |
