What is the name of the current ticketing system?

I know it was APTIS before early 2007, but what is it called now?

APTIS and station based SPORTIS machines have been replaced with either Shere's Smart, Fujitsu's Star or Cubic's Fastis machines depending on train operator.

There is another system called Tribute as well. As said above, it now varies by TOC.

Avantix but i cant remember who makes it

All FCC booking offices on the GN use Tribute, can't comment on the TL as I very very rarely travel on the line.

I'm pretty sure that Avantix is Atos Origin. (Previously Schlumberger and SchlumbergerSema).

Indeed Avantix Mobile (used mostly on trains) is an ATOS Origin product.

FCC-TL uses Shere Smart . It was implemented by Thameslink like Tribute was by WAGN before the franchises were merged three years ago.

I'm sure you're right, didn't know the previous names though!

Booking offices on Thameslink use Shere SMART. St Pancras, City Thameslink and Blackfriars also have FastTIS for Oyster cards.

I think Drayton Park and Essex Road would also use FastTIS.

My Mum works for them, although is nothing to do with Avantix I hasten to add; I've been through all the takeovers.

Atos Origin is the successor to the BR computer department, known as CS&S and IS&T when I worked for them
