In my opinion it was a good decision to keep a good overview and peacefull view. Do people get a overview after they made their choices? That would also be usefull I think. Good luck

For instance, your starting point: is it Meppel? Groningen? Leeuwarden? <br /> Same goes for your final destination: Maastricht or maybe Meersen (because you got that little straightline)?<br />

I know this machine is built solely on research, research and alot more research on usability. NS invested millions in the design of this machine.<br /> <br /> Conclusion actually is that people from6 - 106 can use this machine very easily and fault % is much lower than the old machines. Machine is faster and more user-friendly than the old ones..

Another thing that bothers me is the letter-system to choose a city. After you press the A, you get a new set of letters. It is not clear that they want to know the second letter. Please put 2 letters on the button. The one you chose allready and the second one.

blanka wrote: 2007-10-24 09:08:00 Last thing: when you have 2 similar lines of people in front of an old and a new machine, the old one is always faster! The best proof the new one is NOT easier.

wrote: 2007-10-24 09:23:00 Note to Blanka on the issue that one supposedly can&#039;t select a different depature station: You Can! <br /> Just read the text next to the blue &#039;departure station square&#039;...
