"Plans to close dozens of London Underground ticket offices have been
reversed by London mayor Boris Johnson. "

That should please them - I had got the impression though that they were
going to be moved into more visible roles out on the platforms?

From the BBC's earlier story, linked on that page:

"From March 2008, about 240 staff will be redeployed from the
least busy stops to the busiest stations.

Although the massive queues at KX/StP presumably indicate that rather
more than 3% of that station's passengers are buying tickets:

"Fewer than 3% of Tube journeys are now made on single and
return tickets, with Oyster accounting for more than 60% of all
trips, said TfL. "
