answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/06/2016 answer text <p>The Department for Transport does not hold information on when Operational Research Computerised Allocation of Tickets to Services (ORCATS) was last updated. Any changes to ORCATS allocations is a matter for the Association of Train Operating Companies (ATOC). However we understand from ATOC that as the way in which ORCATS currently works is built into the planning assumptions made by franchise bidders, there is no intention to change the actual way in which ORCATS works. The increase in future ticketing, such as smartcards and barcodes, will in time lead to actual usage based allocations being used, but for now the ORCATS model remains the industry method of allocation.</p><p> </p><p>Further information can be obtained from ATOC who can be contacted at:</p><p> </p><p>ATOC Ltd</p><p>2nd Floor</p><p>200 Aldersgate Street</p><p>London<br>EC1A 4HD</p><p><a href="mailto:enquiry@atoc.org" target="_blank">enquiry@atoc.org</a></p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 10/06/2016 11:05:10 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
