Looks like there's been a changeover from RingGo at First Capital Connect too ...

I found this out when parking at Bedford last weekend.  Shocked to find it wanted to charge a fee to pay by credit card.  FCC▸ (First Capital Connect) doing what they do best.

If I'm not mistaken, at FGW▸ (First Great Western) stations, you actually receive a small discount for paying by phone.

If memory serves me right there is now a surcharge for the 'convenience' of paying by phone. At Bristol Parkway, though, there was a very small discount available to train travellers by keying in the day's 'code' displayed inside the station. Does this still apply?
