Tribute (ticket)

Tribute is one of the new generation of ticket issuing systems introduced to ticket offices by British Rail during the mid-1990s, prior to the privatisation of the network. PC-based, it is one of several systems trialled with the aim of replacing the aging APTIS system. The original systems was developed by British Rail Business Systems,"Tribute User Manual Volume 1; Issue 3.1 (2002)"; British Rail Business Systems/SclumbergerSema; July 1995, as amended] and was first installed at London St Pancras on January 21 1994.cite web| url=http://www.stannsulyn.dsl.pipex.com/machines/tribute.pdf| title=Tribute| work=Transport Ticket Society| accessdate=2008-01-17| ] By April 2005, around 250 terminals were in use [cite web| url=http://www.rail-reg.gov.uk/upload/pdf/22doc.pdf| title=Ticket Retailing: A Policy Statement| work=Office of the Rail Regulator| accessdate=2008-01-17| ] Following privatisation, development and support was provided to the Train Operating Companies (TOCs) by SchlumbergerSema, until they were bought by Atos Origin in 2004. Since the system was launched the software has undergone several major updates - release version 10 is now in use in ticket offices.cite web| url=http://tributesupport.rail.co.uk/press.php| title=News| work=Tribute Support| accessdate=2008-01-17| ]

Today the Tribute software is owned by Tribute Ltd, a company which is comprised of representatives from a number of TOCs, and several industry call centres.cite web| url=http://tributesupport.rail.co.uk/wwd.php| title=Who are we?| work=Tribute Support| accessdate=2008-01-17| ] Development and systems integration work is undertaken by Atos Origin.
