FAST TICKET, and not to be confused with FastTrack, is rolling out very quickly. Developed by TheTrainline it is a national ticket on departure scheme at railway stations. Currently there are over 60 in the scheme, due to increase significantly in 2006. In addition to FastTicket machines at stations more corporate customers are demanding their own machines at key office locations. From the corporate perspective, travellers get their tickets easily even if it is a last minute booking. According to TheTrainline this drives natural adoption, which in turn drives corporate travel policy, reducing maverick buying at stations.
