About FTR

Transforming how passengers buy and use rail

Britains railways must deliver for passengers now and in the future. Thats why the government and the rail industry are delivering a programme of reforms to make rail easier to buy and use:

Easier to understand, better value fares Straightforward ticket choices and fair, consistent prices, including more lower fares.

Confidence you have the right ticket Simple to understand the ticket you need and better protection for honest passengers through industry-wide action to tackle fare dodging and fraud

Easier ways to buy tickets A high quality GBR website and app selling and serving passengers rail journeys, alongside independent retailers.

Rail integrated with other public transport in major urban areas Tap-in tap-out expanded to Greater Manchester, the West Midlands and more of the South East, with new mobile payment trials testing future innovation.

Better, more accessible retail experience More support for passengers including those who rely on paper tickets or cash, or who need extra assistance.

We're not waiting. As we become Great British Railways, a programme of reform is already making rail easier to buy and use, helping rebuild trust in rail and encouraging more people to travel by train.
