Hi, my little brother applied for a job with the railway as a ticket office clerk, it says good knowledge of "Tribute" is an advantage, any ideas what "Tribute" is?
Its the computerised ticketing system they use in the ticket offices. One wouldn't know anything about it unless one had previously worked on the rail network.
Yes: Tribute is the second generation booking and ticketing system developed for ATOC - The Association of Train Operating Companies. All booking data from outside the internal ral system comes from GDS (Global Distribution Systems). Those are Galileo, Sabre, Worldspan and Amadeus. And Eurostar's system called ELGAR.
Tribute assimilates that booking data and converts it to the ticketing process.
