08. ATS (AJENTS)
6th February 2005

ATS (Agency Ticketing Sytem) is used by rail-appointed travel agents. It is also sometimes known as AJENTS. The system was introduced in the latter years of British Rail although all the tickets illustrated here are later RSP issues. Tickets are of large format and printed on thin paper rather than card (BR 4403/44 or RSP 4404/46). Green ticket stock (BR 4404/34) was used for multimodal tickets. Before the introduction of ATS most rail appointed travel agents used either Edmondsons or hand written coupon tickets.
