IMHO Paris Nord needs some sort of really, really, obvious ticket

I had no problems in buying a Carnet of 10 metro tickets from an RATP
ticket machine using my Nationwide Visa credit card a few months ago.

Interesting. I've failed with Nationwide (they must have mopped up the
trainspotter market by now?) and Halifax, and Barclays come to think
of it, and I've heard of others coming unstuck. Maybe it is just us...
