i am not an expert on the TVMs, but i imagine they must be connected to some central computer in IE, which could easily then be hooked up to the reservation system and to the internet fare promotion system.
as for the sligo line thing, IE have been handing out little proof of boarding passes at boombridge (not sure how often it is) so there is a way of doing this. Having a crowd control thing using barriers would ensure that everyone gets one too.
Surely there are commuter stations in as bad, if not worse, places than BB though, cant IE look at how they are staffed/run?
