Ticket gates to be installed at Worcester railway stations aiming to stop fare dodging

NEW ticket gates will be installed at stations and platforms in Worcester aiming to target fare dodger hot spots.

The gates, at Shrub Hill and Foregate Street will have scanners for digital tickets, insert paper tickets or ‘tap out’ where contactless travel is available and follow wider changes coming in across the railway to improve ticketing and stop fraud.

The first phase of roll out is planned for the first half of 2027.
