A good day We've won. Today the Government has u-turned and withdrawn all plans to close ticket offices, following the passenger watchdogs Transport Focus and London Travelwatch objecting to the proposals in their entirety. This marks a massive victory in the campaign to Save Ticket Offices, and I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your support. Thank you to everyone who responded to the consultations, attended demos, wrote to politicians and shared the campaign on social media. We couldn’t have achieved this resounding victory without the support of you all. An unprecedented 750,000 people responded to the public consultations, making it the biggest ever response to a public consultation. This overwhelming opposition has forced the Government to scrap its plans. Today’s announcement shows the power that we have when we come together and make our voices heard. Can you take a moment to celebrate this huge victory for passengers, community groups and rail workers? Share the good news with your friends and family today.
I went to a manned ticket office to get to York races. To be there for the first race allowing for the shuttle bus. And open return, post racing swift half, shuttle bus blah blah. All sorted. How do you have that conversation with a machine? Also pleased the very patient, helpful guy keeps his job.
Rumour has it the building is owned by an Allam company. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
I'd be happy to leave all the jokes up, as long as they don't lead to any further political discussions, but sadly that doesn't happen and it ends up with them all having to be deleted. And it's usually you that's responsible.
