    In the Netherlands there's a simple pillar you scan your card on. Employees on the train occasionally just check if you checked in or not.

    TfL has this for oyster transfers behind the gateline. However National Rail has failed to come up with a national system.

    TfW have also implemented this in every station in the South Wales metro area. Works pretty well and it is so much cheaper than paper ticketing.

    Not sure why this won't be able to be used in England too. Sometimes I think that some in government just push for the new shiny tech thing (be it AI, GPS...), without considering how applicable it would be.
