Re: [Melb] Odd ticket

The people who fix the ticket machines when they are broken (i.e.
every 10 minutes) can do a "test" on the machine while the door to the
machine is open to make sure it's working fine (which is a very
subjective term for Onelink)

The put the money in, select a ticket and the machines gives them the
ticket with "invalid" written on it, and returns their money
