Cubic’s NextAgent combines a virtual walk-up ticket office, a ticket vending machine and a video-linked call centre. In October 2015, Cubic and Abellio Group partnered to trial NextAgent at Stansted Airport to assist passengers en route from plane to train and to their final destinations.

NextAgent technology provides a virtual ticket office and customer information point in remote locations where there is limited space for a full ticket office. NextAgent operators can remotely answer customer questions, provide advice about best fares and reassure passengers about their onward travel. The ability to provide this service is central to the high value Abellio places on the customer experience.
