Train operators have announced plans to close up to 1,000 ticket offices. We have only 21 days to take part in the public consultation. The RMT has prepared template letters for each train operator. Please have your say https://www.rmt.org.uk/campaigns/rail/save-ticket-offices/
SAVE OUR TICKET OFFICES - DAYS OF ACTION: 13TH
AND 18TH JULY
These
days of action are a key focal point and an opportunity to talk directly to the
public and get them to fill in consultation responses objecting to the
closures.
Campaign
materials are being sent to all RMT Regional Offices and branches or you can
request more materials by emailing saveourticketoffices@rmt.org.uk
There
are materials available to download at the RMT campaign page: https://www.rmt.org.uk/campaigns/rail/save-ticket-offices/

And
crucially, don't forget to respond to the consultation yourself online here:

This
is obviously a huge issue for everyone - for the rail workers themselves, for
passengers, especially those who may be unable to access electronic forms of
booking or sources of information, or need personal assistance with this; and
of course, a further blow to hopes of mitigating emissions from transport by
creating inclusive access to good public transport and getting more cars off
the road! And after years of campaigning by disability groups, passenger groups
and workers, it looks like these changes are planned to be imposed at short
notice and with absolutely no regard for access or safety issues.
So
please spread the word as much as possible, find out what plans for protest are
being made where you are, and support them
