- Symbiote 8y agoThe national railway system is integrated with the same type of paper tickets. You can buy a ticket from a station in northern Scotland to Brighton (changing in London) and it will operate the barriers on the London Underground. It's also readable by the ticket checker on the rural service in Scotland. There are posters all over London pushing people to use contactless, it's not an attempt to swindle visitors.
