"Trainline Smart is about to change the way we buy tickets for train travel in the UK through new technology that will provide integrated, paperless ticketing. Using the new technology tickets can be purchased on the internet or by mobile phone and loaded onto a smart card reader."

"Online rail retailer TheTrainline is developing Trainline Smart using ITSO technology, a Government defined standard for nationally accepted smart card ticketing in the UK. The is being introduced in stages across all UK rail and bus journeys and will eventually be used as an upgrade to the London Underground [sic *] Oyster smart ticketing system. The Trainline Smart functionality can be added to a corporate charge card or security pass."
* Oyster - even Oyster pre-pay - is not Underground only. It works throughout the London zonal system on Underground, Buses, and National Rail (inc London Overground) - though pre-pay is limited to a small-ish but increasing part of National Rail.
