03(a). TRIBUTE - ATB Tickets

6th February 2005

The PC-based TRIBUTE system was developed in the final years of BR as a possible APTIS replacement. Although easy to use, it could not match APTIS for issue speed and so it tended to be retricted to Travel Centre and telesales use for which it was ideal. It could produce credit card sized tickets (CCST) or large format ATB tickets which are illustrated here. Earlier issues carried the "Intercity" logo.

The outward and return parts of a Supersaver issued by Thames Telesales.	The ticket stock was later changed to a thermal type as seen on this Virgin Trainline example. The Ł sign has also been replaced by GBP.	The outward half of a GNER Business Saver issued at Kings Cross. This ticket also carries a GNER conductor's stamp.
