Weird.. I bought a DayRover on the 29th November and it was $17.60 O/P (I've
still got it).

Today my g./f and I got a DayTripper for $13 each, then caught the train from
Morisset to Central (don't worry, got a Morisset-Cowan return as well),
changed to a City Circle train and got off a St James.  Put the ticket in the
machine, it didn't work (Retry Fault 008 came up on the barrier).  Tried my
g/f's.. it didn't work (same thing).. gave it to the attendant.. he said the
strip was faulty.. but wouldn't redo them.. would have come in handy over the
day.
