Going back to TfL's contribution - is it not just validators?


If the system is going to work, then they also need to be able to sell
tickets and all the baggage that comes along with that - that is, issue
new cards, load Travelcards onto 'em, load cash onto 'em, tell people
their current pre-pay balance, answer all the questions that people will
ask, and deal with refunds.

To do all that needs a fair bit of booking office upgrades and staff
training.
