Accreditation

KEY TAKEAWAY…

In this page you will learn about RDG accreditation and the process to become accredited.
Accreditation is the process by which we ensure that any system, used to retail and/or issue National Rail tickets for travel on GB passenger train services, is able to:
  • produce standardized tickets that can be accepted by all GB passenger train companies and so support interoperability across the GB rail network
  • generate ticket transaction data which can be accepted by the central rail industry settlement system, ensuring accuracy and probity of settlement
  • generate data which can interface with other central rail industry systems, such as the RARS2 Reservation System for booking seats & Ticket on Departure (ToD) for collecting pre-booked tickets
  • implement and maintain industry security & integrity standards
  • comply with our licence conditions
  • ensure that standard central rail industry data feeds are used
  • support disaster recovery/business continuity and recovery from system fault conditions, error handling and preserve an audit trail
