Scheidt & Bachmann and Greater Anglia extend ticketing partnership

Scheidt & Bachmann Fare Collection Systems and Greater Anglia have signed a new five-year agreement to continue their partnership in rail ticketing innovation. The agreement, effective from 1 July 2026, builds upon a relationship that began in 2002 with the installation of ticket vending machines at Colchester station.

Scheidt & Bachmann currently supports a fleet of 268 ticket vending machines across the Greater Anglia network, including both cash and card-only units. The company reported a device availability rate of more than 99.8%. The partnership has seen the implementation of new technologies, such as the company’s Paper Roll Ticketing (PRT) solution and updated TVM applications, to modernize the passenger experience.
