Press release -
Fourteen London Northwestern Railway stations will receive tap-in tap-out travel upgrade
Fourteen stations operated by London Northwestern Railway will receive upgraded Pay As You Go (PAYG) contactless technology from Sunday 2 February, it has been confirmed today.
The technology comes as part of a £20 million government investment to modernise the network, offering simpler and more flexible payment options across the South East at 47 more stations for the first time.
The LNR stations receiving the technology are: Apsley; Berkhamsted; Bletchley; Bricket Wood; Cheddington; Garston; Hemel Hempstead; How Wood; Kings Langley; Leighton Buzzard; Park Street; St Albans Abbey; Tring and Watford North.
Passengers travelling to and from these stations will only need their contactless card or device to travel, providing easy access to the best priced adult fare available on the day. The PAYG upgrade also allows customers to benefit from daily and Monday – Sunday caps. Current methods of ticket purchasing such as paper tickets and online purchases, remain available.
Jonny Wiseman, customer experience director at LNR, said: “We’re excited to launch this upgraded PAYG technology across more of our stations in the South East, bringing flexible travel to customers across the Abbey Line, and between Watford Junction and Bletchley.
"Ahead of the launch, we encourage passengers to read up on the new system before they travel, with information available via our website.”
