Credit/Debit Cards on Board

[Thomas J Stamp]

Given that one of the benefits of the Mk4 train is that you are supposed to be able to use a laptop and access the net on it you would think that a hand held Chip and Pin Terminal wouldn't be beyond IE.

Perhaps the costs of one on each train is the sticking point. I investigated a method of having clients pay using laser and the costs that AIB wanted for a terminal, keypad and the rest was too big for what I wanted it for.

Maybe, also , the massive costs of them getting something like 100 "3" mobile broadband things is also too expensive. Maybe slightly more expensive than repainting an old loco in a new livery.
