Letter: Catch that train, then pay your way
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: To follow up the point made by John Muldoon (Letters, 7 April) about the availability of tickets on British Rail: it amazes me that BR has still not introduced ticket machines on the trains themselves.
This system would be no more subject to fiddling than the practice of paying for one's ticket on arrival, and it would benefit both parties; it would allow passengers to catch that all-important train and at the same time provide BR with ample justification in its penalisation of those travelling without tickets.
Yours faithfully,
