Railways: Ticket Offices

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they plan to publish the results of the public consultations on proposals to close manned ticket offices at railway stations in England; and if not, why they do not plan to publish.

Answer

This is an industry led process where Train Operating Companies put forward proposals to close or change the opening hours of station ticket offices and launch passenger consultations. The independent passenger bodies, Transport Focus and London TravelWatch, are currently considering the consultation responses and will publish their response to each train operator’s proposals once the process has completed.
