    Re the Freedom of Northern Ireland tickets, the menu that comes up when the driver presses the 'PASS' button has an entry for them (answering my own question). The drivers are also much faster at the 10-journey receipts today. When they see somebody approaching with a ticket they need to punch, they seem to hit the puncher button on the right hand side of the machine; this brings up the menu with the different types of tickets that require a receipt; then they punch the ticket with the hand-held punch and press the (e.g.) 10-journey button. The receipt comes out straight away; yesterday I thought it took another press of the enter button in the bottom right hand corner to issue the receipt. Maybe there are different ways of doing it.

    I am really very very impressed with the whole new system as eliminating driver error with regard to fares is something I've been going on about for a long time.

    There is more information and a nice photograph of the ticket machines at the Wayfarer website (see link below).
