Self-service smart card machines to go live at GTR

Govia Thameslink Railway passengers will be able to obtain the operator’s ITSO-compliant The Key smart cards through self-service vending machines from February 3. Paragon ID has supplied GTR with 12 free-standing kiosks which have been installed at selected stations outside London. Passengers will use a 19 inch outdoor-readable touch screen to enter their details to register for The Key, which the machine will then issue on the spot.
