Les b Posted December 2, 2021 Report Share Posted December 2, 2021 Hi, were on the Macclesfield canal and have been to the cry facilities at top of the locks. Can anyone advise where you get cards to use washing machine and dryer? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philjw Posted December 2, 2021 Report Share Posted December 2, 2021 CRT have a web page showing where to buy these https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/enjoy-the-waterways/boating/boating-services/where-to-buy-keys-cards-and-more It looks like the nearest place to Macclesfield is the CRT Stoke on Trent office at Red Bull. It's possible that boatyards also sell these but I don't know if they do or where Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightwatch Posted December 2, 2021 Report Share Posted December 2, 2021 Thought this was about the old ‘Keymatic’ washing machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightwatch Posted December 2, 2021 Report Share Posted December 2, 2021 They were a washing machine in the fifties and they had a plastic ‘key’, depending which way you put the key in, the different wash programme you did. https://www.scienceandsociety.co.uk/results.asp?image=10240836 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan de Enfield Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 Are C&RTs washing machine tokens common across the whole network ? I know the pump out and electric charging systems are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps C&RT sorting out this stupid anomaly rather than duplicating blue signs would go down better with boaters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it might be about the Top Trump cards we used have as kids... I must confess that Top Trump washing machines might be a little esoteric, but I do have a friend who restores Dyson washing machines, so you never know!

Alway Swilby Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 I think the coal boat Alton sells them. Also Bollington Wharf. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
36national Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 woo hoo Swilby cheers for that we been wondering. Thought it a standard CRT joke. you can only get a card if they post it to you, if y got an address then why would y need one. Alton abroad tomorrow. will try to trade for some more holes to put in their silencer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
