RECENT news confirmed that the ongoing fight of trade unionists, passengers, equality campaigners and others to save ticket offices in railway stations is having an impact. 

In a win for rail passengers and rail workers, it was confirmed that the consultation on the issue has been extended until September 1.

With rail operators and the government seeking to close 1,000 ticket offices in England, there is still an urgent need to raise awareness on the threat to our ticket offices and to make sure that the maximum number of responses are received to the consultation.
