Where you have turnstiles in use, they are usually attended and I guess the attendent could check the smartphone ticket.  Ok, I have just check the Arriva Wales website and they do have tickets for mobiles  [see https://www.arrivatrainswales.co.uk/Mobile-Tickets/] and they do work in the way I thought - clever me!

 

How to use a mobile ticket

 

1. First, activate it before heading to the platform 

 

2. Scan the ticket barcode at the ticket gates, or show it to available train and station staff 

 

3. That’s it – enjoy your journey

I could have invented this myself!

I think the idea of the ticket barriers is to reduce the number of staff on trains, which is a never ending trend from rail companies and is the cause of virtually all the industrial disputes on the railways in the UK.
