This paper* will provide an overview of Victoria’s New Ticketing Solution (NTS) and includes the major components of the NTS, an introduction to NTS devices, an explanation of how the NTS components communicate with each other and an introduction to smartcards and NTS fare products. This paper will also look at TTA and Kamco’s civil works directional boring program which has been used to very good effect to conduct undertrack drilling at railway stations to enable the installation of cabling for the New Ticketing Solution without interruption to train services.
