    Is no one questioning why there is still no rail e-tickets system?

    Needing a piece of paper to prove you have paid should be confined to history.

    I use an unmanned station with no machine and it can take me longer to get that piece of paper at the end of the journey than the journey took! I am in possession of that piece of paper for as long as it takes to walk 10m to a ticket barrier at which point the machine retains it as proof I have left.
