Ticketless train travel to be trialled across cities

Ticketless train travel using location-based technology is being trialled by East Midlands Railway (EMR) and Northern in England, aiming to simplify fare calculations for passengers travelling through Derby, Leicester, Nottingham, and Yorkshire. The GPS tracking system will charge passengers the best fare at the end of the day, potentially offering savings and convenience. The trials have sparked discussions on modernizing rail ticketing systems and improving passenger experiences, with some highlighting the importance of ensuring accessibility for all.
