About Network Rail

The fares, ticketing and retail (FTR) programme is the cross-industry programme to transform how passengers purchase and use tickets. Our aim is to establish a modern, consistent and integrated FTR system that is of high quality and maximises value for passengers and taxpayers. By embracing innovation and collaborating with industry partners, we are delivering a smarter, more efficient and passenger focused approach to rail travel.


This is a great opportunity to be part of a team delivering on improving the things which customers regularly identify as a priority to fix. You may have already seen some of our work: Pay As You Go (PAYG) pilots announced in the West Midlands, Greater Manchester, East Midlands and Yorkshire, expansion of Contactless PAYG in London and the South East and 'Simpler Fares' trials on some long distance routes.


The Government's Railways Bill has highlighted reform of fares and ticketing, including establishing GBR Online Retail, as a key part of rail reform. The FTR programme will deliver industry-wide modernisation and reform of the complex and fragmented fares landscape. This will enable GBR to simplify the ticketing system and make it easy for passengers to find the right fare.
