for Advance tickets (cheap tickets valid only on a specific train) to show their restrictions and accompanying reservation details more clearly on the same ticket rather than on a separate reservation coupon. The report stated that although the Department for Transport's long-term intention was for printed tickets to be replaced with smart cards, the rail industry would soon launch a "cleaner, fresher and updated" ticket design which was intended to address some of these suggestions. 2014 trial In early March 2014, ATOC released a document to its members illustrating examples of the new data layout which would soon be launched on a trial basis. Some changes had been made from the examples illustrated five months earlier in the Department for Transport's report. Meanwhile, ATOC selected the Northern Rail TOC to undertake the trial. Some of the Parkeon self-service ticket machines operated by the company were upgraded so they would print travel tickets in the new format. The first seven stations to undertake the trial were Bingley, Burley Park, Glossop, Hebden Bridge, Irlam, Pannal and Prudhoe, all of which were upgraded between 20 and 24 March. Design features The new design includes the following features and changes: Ticket type printed on upper orange stripe Symbol printed on upper orange stripe to indicate discount (lozenge) or child (circle) Price printed on lower orange stripe Web link to Restriction Codes e.g. "nationalrail.co.uk/8A" For Advance tickets - ticket and reservations on single coupon (previously multiple coupons) Background text reads "National Rail" rather than "Rail Settlement Plan" Rollout Tickets in the new design were first issued in March 2014 from trial locations on the Northern network.
