In a rush to buy 3 travel cards last week, as the train was literally pulling into the station, my finger slipped and I accidentally bought an extra child’s ticket.
When we changed trains at the next station I went to the counter and they sorted a refund of that extra ticket for me.
I asked how it would be possible to do something like that in the future with only ticket machines and the guy said he didn’t know.
As with all plastics, all this fake grass will continue to be a problem even when it’s removed. We can either burn it or leave it in landfill to ever so slowly decompose into billions of bits of microplastic.
It should have been banned a long time ago, but we only ever address things when it’s already too late.
