MIDLAND MAINLINE train services to London St Pancras are set to become
the first rail passengers in the country to have access to a new
facility which allows them to purchase and print their train tickets
at home. The railway people have been quick to appreciate that
similar services are proving very popular in the airline industry.
The system is being developed in conjunction with online rail retailer,
TheTrainline. The trial is currently being carried out on a limited
number of Midland Mainline trains between Sheffield, Derby,
Nottingham, Leicester and St Pancras. All eTickets are priced at just
”6 one way, and will be available on selected off-peak trains
throughout the summer. The tickets can be booked up to 1800 the day
before travel, and can be printed out any time up to departure,
subject to availability. Midland Mainline is part of the National
Express Group.
