I ordered my coffee & shortbread from the trolley service, and sheepishly handed over my £20, apologising profusely. The bloke on the trolley looked at me and asked if I had a contactless card. Brilliant, I handed my card over, he pulled a contactless terminal out of his cash drawer hey presto payment made, and no pocket full of coins to boot.
Can’t believe I had a nice experience on South West Trains. Someone out there is bucking the trend and training their staff (no pun intended).
