Default [article] Here’s why some train ticket machines literally won’t accept your money

Quote:
RAIL USERS trying to pay for their tickets with the new €5 note could be in bother, according to an association representing rail travellers.

Rail Users Ireland says neither the Luas operator Veolia, nor Iarnród Éireann, have updated their ticket machines to be able to accept the €5 note which was introduced to circulation last week.

The body says its members have tested the new €5 note at several machines, but have had no success in finding a machine that accepts the new ones.

It said that while this was not a problem in all circumstances – because some stations often had manned counters where staff could sell a ticket to a passenger – it was problematic in circumstances where staff were not present to accept the note.
