Cammax TVMs help
Nottinghamshire
borough break £1m
sales mark
Pay as you go travel smartcards
used by commuters in Gedling,
Nottinghamshire, have broken
through the £1 million sales mark just
a year after launch thanks in part to
the rollout of Cammax TVMs (Ticket
Vending Machines) in the region.
Nottingham City Council’s (NCC)
initial project with Cammax was
for 82 ITSO Smart Outdoor Card
Dispensing Kiosks and six Indoor
TVMs. The dispensing machines are
located in prime and convenient
locations around the region allowing
commuters to purchase travel
smartcards with ease.
Following the success of the initial
project, the close working relationship
Cammax developed with NCC enabled
the authority to nearly double the
size of the next rollout; in 2016 an
additional 66 TVMs were ordered
which have since been deployed.
NCC now has the first Oyster- Style
ticketing scheme outside London
with one of the highest City Centre
penetrations of Smart TVMs in the UK.
Since the TVMs have been
deployed, it has been reported that
over 20,000 Robin Hood pay as you
go smartcards are now thought to be
in circulation, enabling passengers
access to cheaper travel on
Nottingham’s trains and trams. The
cards have proved popular across the
Gedling borough since machines were
installed in other locations including
Arnold, Carlton and Netherfield. n
