Does cashless trams imply new ticket machines that only accept card payments, or simply not stocking the existing machines with cash and not accepting notes and coins?

Removal of all ticket machines from all tram stops and customers having to use Oyster PAYG, contactless or valid season tickets and permits / passes in smart or paper form. It would be the same as the bus network. This avoids capital renewal costs for new ticket machines, upgrades for coin and note changes plus all the cash / ticket servicing, handling, banking and maintenance costs.
