My chums in the booking office tell me it's not so much the new
technology, more what they're expected to do with the new technology,
which is to issue a much wider range of tickets.

Similarly in Northern's booking offices: when the STAR machines are
commissioned, staff will be expected to do things like reservations and
advance purchase tickets. These are traditionally "clerical" jobs rather
than "railman" jobs and would normally attract higher rates of pay.
