    Introduction of European Entry-Exit Scheme (EES)

    Travelled to Alicante on 19th and returned on 26th, on arrival, their airport Gestapo staff tried to make me register, I already am! Then went to e-gates, no problem, 5 mins if that, unfortunately no stamp, coming back was ridiculous, a queue a mile long as they force you to use the e-gates...

    Getting a CCST ticket instead of PRT ticket for Rover?

    I was talking to the northern manager who is in charge of their ticketing stuff yesterday at work, he said that even thought they are changing to worldline, they will still issue CCST, as he said they are changing the Newbury grey printers to the updated Newbury black printers, I’ll believe that...

    Northern et al seeking new ticketing supplier (to replace Fujitsu STAR)

    Bratislava Tram fines with valid all-inclusive ÖBB Bratislava ticket.

    Yes, that was when I used it, got it from the booking office on the day because it’s FIP discounted, 19 for a return instead of a single, it states only the first day of validity rather than use, which may have confused the OP
