is in danger of being scrapped, according to insiders working on the project.
Plans to simplify tickets and to replace the current franchise model with an outsourcing process were proposed under the creation of a new ‘Great British Railways’ public body. “GBR will simplify the current mass of confusing tickets with new flexible season tickets and a significant roll-out of more convenient Pay As You Go, contactless and digital ticketing on smartphones. A new GBR website will sell tickets and a single compensation system for operators in England will provide a simple system for passengers to access information and apply for refunds.
A source close to Mr Shapps said that they had heard the project could be scrapped but had not received any formal confirmation of a policy change.
