Contactless at Luton Parkway and more

I hope paper tickets will never be phased out.
I don’t know how to resolve this issue.... but I do think there should be more publicity that Contactless, whilst offering convenience, may not be the best value

Even as sophiscated as the Netherlands, there aren't withdrawl of paper ticket (despite it will charge you extra for paper tickets).

It isn't just a matter of paper tickets remaining available - they could 'harmonise' the fare structure and terms so that paper tickets were always more expensive and break of journey / stopping short was banned. More to the point made by 'Skimpot flyer' is a hope that the current fare structure for paper tickets isn't phased out.

Unfortunately, the phasing out of this structure and adopting something more akin to the Contactless structure is very much on the agenda of RDG and DfT (as we have discussed many times before).
