We want the whole experience of travelling by rail to be modern, seamless and easy, starting with buying a ticket to travel.</p><p> </p><p>The Department's plans for delivering smart ticketing on rail were set out in last year's ‘Rail Fares and Ticketing: Next Steps'. This document set out our commitment to deliver on the current South East Flexible Ticketing (SEFT) programme and, subject to project success and future funding, to extend this approach, probably with a focus on cities outside London with a significant rail commuter base.　 This represents part of the long term aim for smart enablement of the entire rail network.</p><p> </p><p>Since the publication of this review we have made substantial progress with the SEFT programme.　 The approach has underlined the value and importance of working collectively with train operators, city transport authorities and the Department.　 In addition, the DfT, in partnership with nine Passenger Transport Executives and Cities predominantly in the North, and with input from operators, has established the Smart Cities Partnership programme. This programme comprises eleven work streams focussed on accelerating the delivery of smart and interoperable ticketing in cities.</p><p> </p><p>One of the work streams is focused on the interface between smart cities and rail, in particular what should be done in relation to the Northern and Trans Pennine Express (TPE) franchises.　 This work is at an early stage but it will inform the Northern and TPE franchise requirements.</p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 17/07/2014 15:00:54 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry
