I suppose this will eventually be rolled out throughout the UK in a few years time.

Ticketless train travel to be trialled across Derby, Leicester and Nottingham

The digital ticketing trials will allow passengers to check in and out using a location-identifying app.
www.bbc.co.uk www.bbc.co.uk

"The location-based technology will be tested by East Midlands Railway (EMR) from Monday, by up to 1,000 people travelling through Derby, Leicester, Nottingham and the stations in between."


How does the legislation tie in with this, when it says you must have a 'ticket' before you board a train?

edit.
**Not sure this is the right place for this post?, could Moderators move it**
