1.Who We Are Association of Train Companies Established to support rail privatisation Composed of: – Policy & Strategy – Rail Settlement Plan – London Scheme – National Rail Enquiries – Commercial – Rail Staff Travel

2. What We Do Support TOCs’ compliance with franchise and TSA commitments Industry voice for National Rail matters Set up industry wide contractual agreements Deliver, operate and accredit ticketing and revenue collection systems Deliver ticket interavailability – the only system in Europe

Example – Interavailability Passenger in Glasgow purchases a ticket from a private web retailer for travel to Poole Retailer receives cash and makes the ticket available by ToD on Scotrail ticket systems Passenger collects ticket at Glasgow self- service ToD vending machine Virgin carries the passenger to London - TfL across London - SWT to Poole RSP settles all revenues to all parties

3. LA Support - Examples Negotiate London Travelcard and Freedom Pass Rail Travel Arrangements Provide rail services to all PTEs and most LAs Administer LA / TOC agreements and settle revenue

4. Electronic Ticketing – Developments Ticket on Departure (ToD): first national inter-operable system in the world Physical tickets – CCST, ATB2, A4 and (under trial) Website / Call centre enabled Therefore the ticket sales channel is electronic – not the ticket product itself

5. Smart Cards - Developments The ticket product is now electronic – opens up more opportunities for ticketing Oyster supported at all key London Rail stations and operational on all London trains ITSO – possible rail involvement for Yorcard and Merseyrail – and Scotland later Evolution of the Standards – Oyster v ITSO DfT support ITSO, but Oyster has 2.5M cards

6. LA Liaison – Going Forward ITSO - interavailability of ticketing and multi- applications in theory can be supported Therefore LA concessionary transport supported with interavailability and across all agreed transport modes Obligations between LAs/Operators and ITSO still to be determined Evolution of the Standards will determine overall support Smart cards are a mere technical enabler
