Trainsplit advising paper tickets only?

[OscarH]

Deliberate,all part of ScotRail’s plan

Sounds like a terrible plan

Other retailers won't be able to if the RCS data doesn't allow it.

Well, of course in practice they can, so presumably you are saying that Trainline are allowed to override RCS data, but other retailers aren't?

If so, does anyone have anything documenting that different rules apply?

If not, then my argument stands that other retailers can do what Trainline does, and I think they should.

I am saying that Trainline do not use RCS, which other retailers are required to do. I am confident that representatives of other retailers will confirm that to be the case.

Given previous evidence of Trainline issuing tickets in e-ticket format where other retailers don't, it would suggest that they aren't using RCS data at all.

Presumably they have an agreement with RDG allowing this to happen whilst still being an accredited retailer.

It is to be hoped that said agreement, if it exists, also has a finite end date or at least a notice period allowing RDG to withdraw it and require Trainline to start using RCS data.

They don't use RCS, and unlike all other retailers their accrediting body is Trainline.

The agreement exists. Whether it has an end date or any other termination option I don't know.

It has and apparently not too far off.
