Save ticket offices on LUL - email enquiries@travelwatch.org.uk

London Underground have failed to properly conduct a public consultation exercise over the closure of  ticket offices on the part of the network previously run by Silverlink, now LOROL.

They have set up an online email system to try and convince the regulators they are engaging with the public.

The RMT are absolutely against the closing of ticket offices and have conducted a near 2 year campaign to keep them.

We want to encourage all our members and their friends and families to take part in the consultation exercise.
