Notes

Some important information - added by a Hungarian collector (22.01.2007): Don't forget that this type of ticket is still in use (in 2007!) in some Middle-European countries, for example: Hungary, Slovakia and Romania. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 213.178.99.89 (talk • contribs) 18:27, January 21, 2007.

This article has a major deficiency

Namely, this article doesn't answer the basic question, what characteristics make an Edmondson ticket different and notable enough to get a separate article, instead of just a section at train ticket? Is it a unique design? The fashion they were handled and cancelled? Their ubiquitousness? This article as written answers none of these questions. oknazevad (talk) 02:33, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. However I think to explain it properly we need a photo of a machine and the racks of tickets. Does anyone know of any free of copyright? Chevin (talk) 08:04, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Underground Tickets

Some mention of underground / Metro systems which use this ticket format might be useful. For example, the Osaka Metro uses a magnetic stripe ticket of this size; and the Glasgow Subway formerly did, referenced in that article as 'post-1980 yellow tickets'. 80.225.133.41 (talk) 16:48, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
