Why not, it’s not like buying a ticket is a simple step anyway. Sam Macky

The prices vary so much it’s like a casino, so many variations on the price you could have paid if you booked three years in advance. Honestly the 21st century is rubbish for rail tickets. Stuart Middleton

Bad idea I think, glad I don’t need a train!

Holly Archibald

So travel first then pay, what happens if you disagree with what it tries to charge you? Jenni Howard

That will be a flop as people won’t trust it. I like to know how much I owe before I go. not some arbitrary amount when I arrive.

Linda Meecham

So, closing booking offices. People don’t pay as it is. The current apps don’t work, so money floating out the door. Paul Clarke

What about people with discounts etc do they just guess who they are? Mark Mcwhirter

And if you don't use a cell… if battery’s flat - if, if, if.

Lynn Hardbattle

I don’t need a ticket as it is. Kris Baillie

A disaster waiting to happen. Craig Cameron

No UK/Scottish government has a good record with anything IT, so avoid yet another disaster.

Margery Swinton

So you find out what you pay after you have travelled? What could go wrong? Gary Shields

Yeah, push towards the cashless society, no ticket office, no nothing, government will be able to watch every transactio­n you make, welcome to China. Eleanor Darroch

Haha, so does the Borders railway from Tweedbank to Edinburgh . Most times it’s free both ways, lol.

Mike Corcoran

I’ve always had to buy on train or the ticket inspectors are waiting on the platform at Waverley. They were even waiting at Gala when I got off from Tweedbank the other weekend. Usually free from

Gala to Tweedbank only. Lisa Karsten Rae

I have never been lucky on the Borders railway. Always had to buy on the train. Robertson Lisa
