My local station has around four trains stopping per hour and hasnt had a ticket office for decades. You serious? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alchresearch Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 On 19/07/2023 at 07:23, HeHasRisen said: My Facebook wall of late seems to be full of promoted posts by the RMT, posting pictures of queues at ticket offices to try and prove their point people still use them. Some of the pictures look years old and most are at major stations, where they are obviously going to be used,. On Twitter they tried to use one of a group of kids waiting in the concourse for their teacher on a school trip. The telltale signs were that none of the people were queueing or facing the ticket booth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
