Not shown anywhere !?!?!! Except on _every_ tram stop sign, on all the new
versions of the maps displayed at the stops (not all have been updated
though), as well as the timetable booklets available from the Met Shop &
depots.

No point validating a short trip ticket more than once. It will print "***
Expired ***" on it the second time you try. So you can't be seen "validating
your ticket each journey".
