The decision to close nearly all ticket office stations in England will have a huge impact on passengers and staff.
Even though over 150 million passenger journeys will be hit by this move there has been no equality impact assessment and basic questions on job security and accessibility have been left unanswered.
Rushing this botched plan through in just 21 days without consideration for staff and disabled passengers only risks making the government’s managed decline of the rail network worse.
I’m calling on the government to stop dodging accountability and come clean on the damage these closures will do.
