£Quarter of a million investment in Orange CCST by RDG

[bakerstreet]

Yes I use e-tickets sometimes but I must admit to enjoying the feeling of a paper ticket in my wallet. All investment welcome !

From Rail magazine (Issue 976)

Orange tickets are now greener

Rail passengers who buy a total of 500 million orange paper tickets every year will not notice the difference, but the solvent used in the black magnetic strip on the reverse has been changed

It is now water-based to reduce its environmental impact by 87%, in a £230,000 investment by the Rail Delivery Group and Paragon ID.

It's certainly welcome news that proper tickets are still being invested in and improved.

Nice to see an article which understands that water is a solvent.

I doubt it in terms of bang for your bucks.

Doubt it, £230k won’t buy many techie hours.
