(10 Oct 2023, 3:28 pm)Retro Nero Contactless declines mainly because it's been used as contactless for a number of times and you haven't used the PIN number for quite a while. This is one of many reasons. The company don't collect the payment until the end of the day (roughly just after midnight) so it's not declined because of funds in your bank.

(30 Sep 2023, 9:21 pm)Adrian My point is that it's interesting how quick it can be done, if it's in the operators' interests to do so.
Regarding the TNE day ticket, whilst there's been some delay due to the democratic process, it's not entirely accurate to state it's all on TNE. From the reports and minutes I've read, it appears that the scheme reimbursement was proposed to a subsequent meeting, to be more favourable towards the operators? I'd written about it in the BSIP thread at the time.

(10 Oct 2023, 9:33 pm)busmanT Sorry, the delay is all on TNE!!
It's a TNE ticket scheme with TNE re-imbursing operators.
Just needs TNE to reach agreement on reimbursement with the bus operators - and Metro, which is where the complication with introducing a Bus Service Improvement Plan ticket occurs, and is why it's been delayed again.

(11 Oct 2023, 9:15 am)omnicity4659 Our machines block cards for 45 days if a journey has been made and there hasn't been sufficient funds when Stagecoach go to collect the money from the passenger's bank later on. After 3 attempts (not sure if it's three tries at the same time, or three separate occasions) the card will be permanently blocked.
Passengers have to be reminded to contact Stagecoach Customer Services to get it unblocked in both instances.
Ask them to pay by cash, or go to an ATM then pay cash on the next bus, usually if they refuse those it's offer them a B175, which they don't seem to like...
Heard the "I've got money on there", "it does this all the time" and the "my bank said you need to update your machine" (even if everyone else's card from the same bank worked!) nonsense too many times.
