SNCF Withdrawing Mobile Tickets

Puffing Devil · 20 Mar 2018

In an email about the move to a new website for uk.voyages-sncf.com there was the following announcement:

PRINT TICKETS BEFORE TRAVEL

M tickets will be unavailable for travel after 27/03. If you intend to travel with a e-ticket, please ensure you print it at home before travelling.

I'm wondering why the change when so many appear keen to move towards mobile ticketing?

My guess is that they want to move to true app-based mTickets rather than "Don't have to print at home" tickets.

Reading a little more, it appears that you can also have your tickets loaded to your loyalty smart card, so no need for a phone or battery worries.

It's amazing what you can do with a single operator and a national scheme.......

Associating them with Railcards seems an obvious possibility.

Many UK mobile tickets used to be M-tickets but are now E-tickets delivered to a mobile device. I would guess that this would be the next step - but then it is SNCF......

That's not so bad then, I was thinking of using E-tickets with SNCF on the future but an app should be fine hopefully

The withdrawal of e tickets from SNCF voyages is surely just because SNCF Voyages will cease to exist from 27/03 so they can't support e-tickets, I imagine Oui will support them

What's replacing SNCF Voyage?

I see, any idea of the functionality is the same? If not I'll just have a go anyway.

I think it's pretty much the same, but I could only see prices being quoted in Euros, which is fine for me as I have a 0% forex fee on my card, but most people probably don't.

Thank you that's just what I wanted to know, cheers
