I notice new software has appeared in the ticket machines recently.
Seems
quite good but I suppose this is in advance of booting out the ticket
office staff. -

Has anyone noticed any new features? I think I encountered an example at

Swiss Cottage before Christmas but didn't notice anything extra.

Yes, it is now extremely temperamental. I have a Freedom Pass which is
essentially an Oyster Card. Yesterday I travelled by Central Line from
Leyton To Stratford. No problem at either end. Coming back from
Westfield
towards The Broadway, I decided to cut through the station. I used my
Freedom Pass to gain access. Again, no problem. At the other side of the

station, my Pass was not accepted. The member of staff who let me out
of prison agreed it was probably because it was too soon after I had
entered.

I did some shopping and about 30 minutes later tried to enter the
station
again. My pass was not recognised. I decided to walk home. (From
Stratford
it's not too far, I need the exercise and I was in no hurry) The journey
takes
me past Leyton Underground Station. On a whim I decided to check my
Freedom Pass. Accepted without any problem.

Does LUL also plan to introduce new ticket machines in 2015? Or is it
only new software?
