A drinks dispensing machine at Tameside General Hospital. One would think with a name like that it would be simple. As far as I could gather you have to pay for it using a smart card. You cannot simply insert the correct amount in coinage. It is in a waiting area near the North entrance to the Hartshead building. If it is raining you can wait there and look out the window to see if your bus is coming. They have to use a turning circle to reach the bus stop so if you see it coming you have time to get out and down to the stop while it is turning round. Pity the vending machine isn't so simple.
