Twenty-nine Smart Kiosks are being installed across the East Midlands Railway (EMR) network, to make it simpler for customers to access the cheapest fares.
The units, which allow customers to purchase advance and walk-up tickets as a barcode instead of a paper ticket, will be installed at stations across Staffordshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire.
Simon Pready, commercial director at East Midlands Railway, said: “We want to offer customers as much flexibility as possible when purchasing tickets and that’s why the introduction of these new Smart Kiosks is great news.
“As well as other features, they offer customers a full range of eTickets and the same fare offers that they would otherwise access online. We hope our regional customers enjoy the benefits of using them when they are introduced across our regional network in the next few months.”
With the current cost of living crisis, EMR’s customers will be delighted to note that the clever machines will also provide information on the cost difference between their chosen train, and any in the next 90 minutes.
