Cardiff bay mermaid quay

new pay and display meters

yes. went last week.They have new pay and display meters. You have to use the numberpad with letters and put your boat name on the ticket aint very good, took several attempts, It kept changing the first letter to a '2' the backspace is going to get wornout !,could have been my fat fingers tho . it gives you 2 tickets 1 with the gate code
 
Be careful, it can be a pain getting the pound coins into the slot, they roll back out if not shoved right in deep. I wonder how many have ended up in the water? A really dreadful machine as the display does not update fast enough to display what you are entering, if you pause then it moves on to the next letter. Frustrating.
 
Very true, you almost have to stuff them in at a bit of an angle. I see there are electricty points along the main walkway but apparently nothing coming out of them - is it possible to get power there?
