## Resource

Northern trains in Yorkshire are revolutionizing travel with a ticketless app trial that’s already seen over 30,000 journeys — using GPS to auto-calculate the best fare at the end of your day. Launched on the Leeds to Harrogate line and expanded to Sheffield to Doncaster, the system lets you scan a barcode at entry, tap “end journey” at exit, and never pay more than £12.80 daily — with some users hitting that cap over 150 times. Inspired by Swiss and Danish models, it’s part of the Great British Railways push to modernize ticketing. Sign up now and get £15 in credit — it’s simple, smart, and already earning rave reviews from commuters. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
