18. Omniprinter

29th January 2004

This system was used for on-train issues and for small station use on the Midland Region and for on-train use only on the Southern and Western Regions.

This 1982 example is a station issued single from Hunts Cross.	This is a Midland Region station issue from 1971. Plain white paper is used here rather than the more common pink.	A much later on-train issue from the Midland Region dated 1986. The coloured stripes could vary enormously and helped prevent fraud.	A Southern Region issue from 1976.
A Midland Region issue from 1971 on plain white paper.	A very late issue from 1987, just before replacement by PORTIS.	A 1982 issue from the North West.	A Southern Region on train issue on white paper.
A Western Region on-train issue.	The rear of most Omniprinter tickets are blank but in some cases the rear is used lo list additional station codes. This example coded BR859/216 is from the Midland Region.	Another example of station listings on a Midland Region ticket, coded 859/252.
