About FTR
Transforming how passengers buy and use rail
Britain's Railways Must Deliver For Passengers Now And In The Future. That's Why The Government And The Rail Industry Are Delivering a Programme Of Reforms To Make Rail Easier To Buy And Use
- Easier to understand, better value fares - Straightforward ticket choices and fair, consistent prices, including more lower fares.
- Confidence you have the right ticket - Simple to understand the ticket you need and better protection for honest passengers through industry-wide action to tackle fare dodging and fraud.
- Easier ways to buy tickets - A high quality GBR website and app selling and serving passengers' rail journeys, alongside independent retailers.
- Rail integrated with other public transport in major urban areas - Tap-in tap-out expanded to Greater Manchester, the West Midlands and more of the South East, with new mobile payment trials testing future innovation.
- Better, more accessible retail experience - More support for passengers including those who rely on paper tickets or cash, or who need extra assistance.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
