Default Next round of Ticket Office closures announced

Let's not hope that LU don't trot out the old favourite about ticket
office staff being redeployed around the station for "security" or
"reassurance" reasons like they did last time. These posts are for the
most part being abolished, otherwise there would be no financial point
in doing it. My own local station had its ticket office hours reduced
in the last round of cuts and will suffer even more next time. The
staff affected are not providing a presence on the platforms, or
assisting on the gateline, because they no longer work there!


Evidence? AFAIK LUL has made no customer-facing redundancies and all
former-ticket-office staff have been redeployed.
