Us in mark would like to think we're near Axbridge - but it aint so - Axbridge is near Cheddar and the A38 speed camera at Shute Shelve - Mark is out on the flat bit, East Brent is tucked in under Brent Knoll - Worle is ....

I wonder if the one at Oldfield Park will make a reappearance? There is a nice shelter waiting for it if it does.

Oh, ye of little faith ...  Roll Eyes Shocked Grin



With my usual selfless devotion to this forum, I made a trip out to Weston-super-Mare this evening, just so that I could get this photographic evidence that there is indeed now a new TVM▸ (Ticket Vending Machine) at Worle.

It was showing 'Out of Service' on the screen - but surely that's just nit-picking!  Huh

Yes, you should be able to - that's what I do at Nailsea, for example.

Never understood why the machines can't offer the group save option when three or more passengers are selected.

TVMs▸ (Ticket Vending Machine) that seem to be identical are not always so.
Two TVMs were installed at Charlbury and Hanborough station on the CL a couple of years ago. The Charlbury machine allows people who have purchased tickets by phone or internet to collect them from the machine. The Hanborough machine has no such facility although some FGW▸ (First Great Western) staff seem to think so and have not so long ago advised locals to collect their tickets from the Hanborough machine. I reported this problem to FGW some weeks ago but have not checked to see whether the situation has been changed.

Booking engines all show Hanborough as valid for 'Ticket On Departure' collection. Not good if the machine there is not set up to issue pre-purchased tickets.

It's not in the TOC▸ (Train Operating Company)'s interest to do so.

TVM▸ (Ticket Vending Machine) are not under obligation to sell the CHEAPEST ticket for the requested journey like the staff in Booking Offices ARE.
