On top of that, Go-ahead can receive millions of pounds in performance benefits - by doing the job as its supposed to be done, all by the midpoint of the contract.
Can anyone confirm if the Key will be standalone or will it be integrated into a system whereby a Key holder from anywhere in the country can use it on one of these trains?
I doubt it. I was told by Brighton and Hove last year that I couldn't have a Key card, because I had one with Go North East. The system recognised BOTH my email address and address as duplicate. After no luck with both sets of customer services, I got round it by adding an extra smtp address to my mailbox, and by misspelling my address on my Brighton and Hove registration.
I did suggest that my existing key card number just be added to their system, but that appeared to be a no go either.
