Northern's investment in the north's rail network will see the 600thnew ticket vending machine (TVM) installed.
The newest machine will be installed at Driffield this week (w/c 26 Aug) giving customers more ways to buy a ticket.
Northern's TVMs offer a full range of fares and will even suggest cheaper alternatives to help customers save money.
Software has also been installed which simplifies the ticket buying process for Northern customers and complements other methods of buying tickets.
David Brown said:
“Our new machines have greatly improved the ticket buying experience for our customers and provide better value for money when customers choose to self-serve on our network.
“The full touchscreen design is modern and intuitive and has a number of features which means it is accessible for disabled customers too.”
“The TVMs are a key part of a larger improvement programme which is transforming rail travel for our customers.
“Over the past month we have introduced 15 brand new trains and will bring in a more during 2019 and into 2020 – a £500m investment on new trains. And earlier this week we began removing Pacer trains from the network, with unit 142005 the first train to be retired.”
