Mayor of West Yorkshire responds to decision extending public consultation on rail ticket office closures
Mayor of West Yorkshire, Tracy Brabin, said:
“We said from the start that the chaotic and rushed consultation to shut down most of our ticket offices was completely inadequate and unlawful.
“Despite this time extension, we still have significant concerns about the way the consultation has been set up and the impact these proposals would have on the most vulnerable.
“Station staff are essential if we want our railways to be accessible, safe and inclusive for everyone.”
