Content: Avoid booking fees
Many booking sites charge a set or a variable fee for booking tickets. If you want to avoid this cost use a site like National Rail. National Rail don’t sell rail tickets, but they will show you the cheapest prices available. They link directly to the train companies, many of which are fee-free. 6. Smart ticketing
The government have announced their plans to roll out smart ticketing throughout England and Wales by the end of 2018. Smart tickets will give passengers the option to travel using digital tickets hosted on their phones as well as physical vouchers. The smart ticketing technology will eventually be rolled out to every rail franchise over the course of the year. Check out the video below to learn more about smart ticketing.
