Virgin Trains becomes the first UK franchised train company to offer m-Tickets across all ticket types and routes, eliminating the orange ticket completely. The company has announced that this week it will make m-Tickets available to Virgin customers travelling on all routes along the east and west coast mainlines.
The bar-coded m-Tickets which customers download to their smartphones or other mobile devices will be offered for journeys on Virgin Trains services purchased through the Virgin Trains (east coast) website or the Virgin Trains app. The app means that customers can both buy and use their tickets on their mobile for maximum convenience. It also means that customers wanting to buy their tickets on the day can download the app via the free Virgin Trains station Wi-Fi, avoid queues, and select their ticket via a simpler interface than ticket machines.
