Govia Thameslink Railway has announced that a Harlington passenger is celebrating after winning the value of her season ticket through the operator’s competition for Key Smartcard season ticket holders.

Amy Walster signed up for a Key Smartcard annual season ticket two years ago and commutes between Harlington and St Pancras by train and then to Baker Street by the tube.

Amy is GTR’s fourth competition winner and was presented with a cheque this week for £5,632.

Amy said she isn’t sure how to spend her winnings yet but is considering splashing out on a holiday.

GTR’s monthly competition is open to Key Smartcard season ticket holders across GTR’s Thameslink, Great Northern and Southern brands.

What did the officials say?

Amy, 24, who lives with her parents in Harlington, said:

“It’s a lot better to have a smartcard than a paper ticket because it lasts longer and it’s quicker and easier to use because you just tap in and out. I was shocked to win the competition. I just couldn’t believe it.”

GTR’s Smart Ticketing Manager Sherisse Shelton-Smith said:

“We were thrilled to let Amy know she was a winner. As Amy says, Key Smartcards are more durable than paper tickets and help speed up your journey with just a tap in and out. With the Key Smartcard, customers can receive Delay Repay notifications which can be claimed with just a click of a button.”
