New tech to catch fare evaders is set to be deployed across Britain’s second-largest train operator.

The system is installed at barriers to automatically detect whether a ticket is valid.

If it isn’t, it sends an alert to Northern staff to see if additional checks are required.

These additional checks include whether a passenger has the appropriate rail card or is eligible for a child discount.

During a trial of the technology at a station last month, almost 180 fare dodgers were caught on one day alone.

Northern serves more than 500 stations across northern England.
