  1. I've sent in an objection to the #TicketOfficeClosures at UK railway stations. You can do this until the end of the day today. There is some advice on how to do this at transportforall.org.uk/campaig

  4. Local train station ticket office provided a service to us today impossible online or at a machine. Don’t let the forces of profit over service rob us of this valuable resource for travellers. #ticketofficeclosures

  6. The Tories are building a railway in Turkey! No we aren't they say, we're underwriting a loan for Turkey to build a railway! So if they don't pay, we end up liable then? Err...it's good for our economy, our expertise and equipment is being used to build the railway! So we're building a railways for Turkey then? What about our ticket offices? We can't afford those! But if Turkey doesn't pay? Errr...#DamoRants #TicketOfficeClosures

Fill in the form at transportfocus.org.uk with this example. #ticketofficeclosures

  12. Today's news of closure of UK rail ticket offices requires two things to happen first. 1. Replace the station ticket machines with ones that reliably work 2. Replace the software that is simpler and clearer to use.
