Question about Dublin bus.

dakan · 2017-02-26 11:30:54

Hi Folks Would anyone know what time of ticket machines the CIE bus conductors used in Dublin around the late eighties, early nineties? I know it was made by Almex as I remember the coloured dials. But does anybody know if there was a particular model used? Here is an example; E-bay Thanks

Almex machines were used in railway station booking offices in the 1970s. They may have been used by bus conductors, but I do not remember them.

For a long time, bus conductors had a very different type of machine, I have no idea who made it.
