All London Underground Ticket Offices To Close

This claim is being made by the trade unions in London and it’s reported here on the BBC.

Except for main line stations, you rarely see anybody at the ticket offices.  But then they can be busy, as this post shows.

So just on my personal observation, there seems to be a need for some reorganisation of the ticket offices.

One of these could be making sure that passengers arrive in London with a ticket for the Underground.

Modern Railways this month also had an editorial about the rows that are about to happen, when trains in London go for driver-only operation.

I think there is going to be a lot of argument in the next few years.

But honestly, when was the last time you visited a ticket office on the Underground to buy a ticket?

I think I bought an Oystercard about four years ago. I’ve bought one since and that was from a machine.
