Rail transport users in Scotland are set to benefit from a trial of an account-based smart ticketing system, initially deployed on the Glasgow Cathcart loop.

In a scheme similar to London’s Oyster card system, customers will be able to set up a single account which can be used across multiple modes of public transport.
