And there are card-only machines in LUL stations, although again only
(in my limited experience) in multiple with more full-service
machines. However, it's an interesting question as to whether if you
have a pair of machines, one of which takes cash (or your preferred
method of payment) and the other of which doesn't, and the "wrong" one
fails, whether that constitutes "full working order". A pair of
machines which together accept two forms of payment might be seen as
one machine which takes both, or as two machines either of which needs
to be working. Presumably, someone with money and time on their hands
will get themselves PF'd, force a testcase and get a resolution.
