EMR expanding penalty fares area

[Haywain]

S

Surely Scotrail removing Peak time fares is simplifying the ticketing structure?

But there are products such as Groupsave and concessionary fares that are only available from staffed sales points.

Totally agree, whenever I fly on a budget airline like Ryanair or Easyjet I always get the print at home tickets. Sure I have to pay for the ink but I don't want to be stuck in Dublin without a ticket due to my phone being dead.

You'll not have that choice from November when Ryanair phases out printed boarding passes.

It doesn't raise the cost of the machine if the machine already needs to be internet connected to issue smart tickets and reservation-only tickets like Advances.

And authorise credit cards!

Has anyone told Merseyrail about this? They don't seem to want to do eticket (as opposed to smart card) at all.

Merseyrail issue and accept their own e-tickets on their website.

Now that Peterborough – Doncaster will become a penalty fare line, and I believe there are signs up at Sleaford to say it is becoming a "penalty fare station"... does that mean all journeys to Sleaford can be penalty-fared? Such as on the Nottingham-Skegness line - or do you have to be travelling between 2 penalty fare stations?
