I never use ticket machines when travelling into Glasgow. Kids travel free on Strathclyde trains when accompanied by an adult but if you try to get adult and child tickets from the machine, even all in one transaction, it will charge you for the kids. It's really annoying because several stations are unmanned so you either have to hope to see a ticket inspector on board or else form a queue at the exit barriers when you get into the city centre.
