New changes are coming to train stations that could catch-out travellers looking for cheaper travel.
A new technology is currently being introduced to the ticket gates of Northern managed train stations. The technology is designed to catch out people looking to chance cheaper train travel using incorrect tickets.
Northern, who operate train services out of Liverpool Lime Street, said the technology will "quickly and accurately" check if a ticket is valid and will alert staff if the ticket requires any additional checks. That means anyone travelling on a child or railcard ticket could be asked to produce ID or proof.
