About Network Rail

FTR

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.

The Collaboration Hub team sits with the Programme’s Delivery Office and enables successful collaboration, effective delivery, meaningful engagement, and consistent communications for the programme. This is achieved by providing the relevant tools and channels to drive knowledge and engagement.

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.
