I think it would be good to have an optical scanner on them as well and require eTicket holders to validate their ticket before travel.

Do you mean a map of the proposed coverage of contactless ‘pay as you go’ on rail in the SE? If so, I’m not sure if it’s been 100% confirmed yet but the DfT consulted on the extent of coverage in the consultation document below: https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/pay-as-you-go-on-rail

What were your travel dates? I’m booked to travel in Jan but i’ve heard they only cancel on the day..

Good news, the Metro adult bus and train off-peak day ticket is now available via the M-Card app.

I find it hard to believe that Metro can provide offpeak versions of the group and family tickets but not the individual ones. It’s arguably the most useful ticket in their portfolio and the hardest to buy.

Navigation Liberté+ you use the card to pay as you go and you are charged in one lump sum at month end, by direct debit, I understand. Navigo Easy you use the card to add individual tickets or carnets (for a discount). The card is €2. Benefit is that it saves paper and fiddling about with paper...

It’s good to see Avanti appear to be keeping the interior generic and debranded. The sooner GBR can get involved in initiatives like this, the sooner we can get a consistent railway.

I’m rather hoping we get a consistent approach to new TVMs under GBR.

Are they replacing the navigational signs within the station? Are they using the new NR house-style pictograms and New Rail Alphabet font?

I remember they had the foresight to introduce the Manchester Victoria to Leeds via Brighouse service despite the shoestrings and no growth franchise. It was transformative for Brighouse. That will always be their legacy for me.

In Spain, if you buy an AVE (high speed mainline) ticket, you get a TOD code that you can use to retrieve a gate-friendly ticket for the Cercanias (local train) at your destination. I don’t know why we don’t just do this in London? Enable TOD for the +London portion and collection on CCST stock...

The Penalty Fare needs to offer a serious deterrent to the casual evasion of fares. The cost of administering the Penalty Fare increases with the time it takes to collect it. The more chasing that has to be done, the more the cost increases, and it quickly ends up costing more to levy the...

Are there any plans to print barcodes on CCSTs?

Have you got a photo?

https://www.railadvent.co.uk/2021/01/east-midlands-railway-to-introduce-uk-first-smart-kiosk.html Has anyone used one of these new EMR smart kiosks? I would love to see what the tickets look like.

Does anyone know of any stations that have had a validator installed that has not yet had Flexi ticketing enabled? I checked Calderdale Council’s website and found planning applications relating to Hebden Bridge, Mytholmroyd and Halifax dating from August 2019. I suppose other Calderdale...

Do we know the order they are rolling these out the platform validators across the Northern network? Are they targeting certain lines, regions first?

I’d like to travel to / from Brighouse for Christmas as cheaply / easily as possible. Departing on 22 Dec and returning on 28 Dec. Advance tickets are available now for the 22nd but I don’t think there will be any for the 28th due to the King’s Cross engineering works. Should I book an advance...

There needs to be a standard TVM UI designed by RDG/Network Rail/William’s Guiding Mind that will deliver the guidelines, work with as many machines as possible, and made available for manufacturers and TOCs. The same goes for web booking engines, ticket office technology, way finding signage...

It’s working again now :smile: Where was this, in an article or on Twitter? Have you got the link?
