APTIS was the Accountancy and Passenger Ticket Issuing System used on the British Rail/National Rail until 2007. It was originally called "Advanced Passenger Ticket Issuing System" as it was being developed at the time of the Advanced Passenger Train. It was widely known as the All-Purpose Ticket-Issuing System, a description which was used during the development of the prototype devices.〔Ford, Roger (1984). "Technology Update: Ticket issuing and revenue control". In: ''Modern Railways'', Volume 41, May 1984, Pages 256-257.〕〔Glover, John (1985). "Mechanisation of ticket issuing". In: ''Modern Railways'', Volume 42, April 1985, Pages 192-195.〕 It led to the introduction, on the national railway, of a new standardised machine-printable ticket, the APTIS ticket, which replaced the Edmondson railway ticket first introduced in the 1840s. ==Overview== APTIS issued impact printed tickets on credit-card sized card ticket stock, with a magnetic stripe on the centre of the reverse which could be encoded to operate ticket barriers; it could also use plain non-magnetic ticket stock.〔 APTIS could issue receipts for passengers paying by debit card or credit card.〔 These receipts were a combination of a transparent carbonless copy paper top copy, for the customer; and a backing card, for retention by British Rail. The customer signed the receipt, handed it back; and, in return, was given the signed top copy and the train tickets. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「APTIS」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
