00:00Sir, you're about to have a crack at using this machine, is this your first time?
00:10Yeah.
00:11Right, let's see how you get on then.
00:12We've just been chatting to Tom here about it, how are you feeling about this replacing
00:18the conductors on the trams?
00:20What's your thoughts?
00:21I think you should keep the conductors, because it's saying all day, I only need to return
00:28and I ain't got a clue.
00:31So you're finding it, I mean I am distracting you, I'll keep Stump for a second.
00:35I ain't got a clue what I'm doing, I can't find it, tickets by destination, don't worry,
00:49single all day, I'm gone, like that.
00:54You got him?
00:55I think so.
00:56Never heard all day.
00:57So is that what you expected it to be?
01:03Yeah, that's what it normally is yeah.
01:06So any concerns over kind of job losses with the machines coming in?
01:10Yeah, I think they should keep the conductors, because these are going to get vandalised
01:14in the end.
01:16Well that's the concern isn't it, yeah, so, yeah, being tucked away down on these platforms
01:24they are open to that potentially happening.
01:29So there you go, is it working?
01:31I can't do nothing.
01:34Right, I'll tell you what, ah, might be this one, might be a car job now then, let's see.
01:43Is that working?
01:44It's doing something.
01:45Thinking about it, well let's hope you get the ticket then, preparing printing ticket.
01:50Good question.
01:51Right, so there you go then, that was your first experience, so your concern would be
02:02what happens when it's vandalised, and also, you know, them job losses potentially, yeah,
02:09yeah, we'd second that.
02:11It will get vandalised, especially round here.
02:13Yeah, yeah.
02:14I can guarantee it.
02:15Yeah.
