Evolvi platform offers eTickets for UK rail journeys

Users of the EvolviNG online rail booking and fulfilment platform can now benefit from eTickets as well as mTickets on UK rail journeys.

The advantage of an eTicket is that it does not need activation in advance of travel (unlike an mTicket) and can be stored inside a mobile ticket wallet, enabling travellers to keep train tickets alongside all other travel-related documentation.

Says Ken Cameron, Managing Director of Evolvi Rail Systems, the company behind the market-leading EvoviNG platform and EvolviWS API: "We know from talking to TMCs that frictionless travel is increasingly an aspiration in the corporate sector and the move to eTicketing, stored automatically within a travel wallet and available without activation, moves us closer to making this a reality in line with the Rail Delivery Group (RDG) vision of industry-wide mobile solutions by 2020."

The announcement comes as EvolviNG rolls out a corporate travel industry 'first', providing a unique auto-refund capability for TMCs for Standard as well as Advance mobile ticketing.
