Chip and signature certainly works at stations, indeed its a bit quicker as the ticket on departure machines haven't been equipped with a signature pad so there is no delay waiting for the pin pad to activate and confirm the pin number matches.
I wonder if without a chip it will fall back to a magnetic strip check and issue the tickets.

Do the machines not read the mag stripe when the card is pulled out? This is how it works on other devices with similar types of reader.

There's been a (not very...) exciting development in this saga. My American card issuer has actually started offering Chip-and-Signature cards (it's a BA» -branded credit card so apparently there's been lots of demand from customers for chip cards to make their lives easier in Europe). So, is my understanding correct that, assuming I get my grubby paws on a chip-and-signature card before Christmas I can use this as normal in a Ticket on Departure machine? Don't see any reason why that shouldn't be the case but then logic doesn't always seem to apply in these situations.

Next time I need to collect some tickets, I might put a strip of insulating tape over the chip to see what happens. I know for certain my card doesn't have a chip required marker on the mag stripe (as some now do).

worth pointing out that if the strip of tape comes off and gets jammed in the machine, thats classed as criminal damage |

I can just see CfN posting a link to the BTP▸ 's press release with CCTV▸ footage trying to trace the perpetrator in 4 - 6 weeks' time...  |

I'll have to dig out my hoodie...
In all seriousness, I've emailed FGW▸ to see what they say about the matter. I remember when chip and PIN readers were first introduced in TVMs▸ , cards without chips were still accepted. So I can only assume they still are now.

it is possible that although all the self serve machines look the same, different toc's may have different machines internally

Response from FGW▸ Thank you for your email of 21 November 2011 enquiring about collecting your tickets from the Ticket Machine.
I can confirm that you can collect the ticket irrespective of the card being a swipe card or a chip card. If the payment has been processed and you have recieved a reference number you can enter the details in the Ticket Vending Machine and get the tickets.
Thank you for contacting us.

No, I won't risk it as FGW▸ confirmed exactly what I thought would be the case.

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.
"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.
