The European Union isn't the only thing Britain has decided this week to be done with. The country's railroads will get rid of the familiar orange-striped paper tickets within the next few years.

There will have to be some form of paper tickets, though, for those without access to computers and smartphones. For more details and speculation from The Telegraph (UK), click HERE
