hillsbro Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 My goodness - I had forgotten those machines. I think they must have been used on the "City Clipper" service that had a flat fare of 2p. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdtiman Posted November 26, 2007 Author Share Posted November 26, 2007 the clipper ones had glass sides so the driver could see what you put in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plain Talker Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 bang on! videmat! if you could get a shedload of 1/2ps you could get a really really long ticket with a photocopy of the coins you'd paid in on it. It was a competition to see who could create the longest ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
