Dear Transport for London,
Up until you got rid of cash on London Buses your bus conductors on your heritage routemaster 9H and 15H routes used handheld ticket machines to issue tickets to passengers who paid cash. I would like to know the make and model of that handheld ticket machine. I know the fixed one you use on all other buses is the Parkeon Wayfarer TG150 but i can not find what that handheld one was called. Can you let me know the make and model of this handheld one that you used please.
