Rail union leaders have urged the Government to halt plans by South West Trains - which operates services across the region - to reduce ticket office opening times, which they warned would lead to a "vastly poorer" service.The Rail Maritime and Transport union said South West Trains should not be allowed to "slash" ticket office opening times. A Government decision is expected soon on whether to allow cuts in hours at 114 stations that would leave some stations without ticket offices at weekends and dozens more without evening and early morning cover.

Unless you imagine that hte purpose of railway companies is to provide a public service. To which I would have to remind you that if we wanted a railway which serves the public we wouldn't have privatised it. keep to the Fen Causeway
Little did they know. A solid majority would now probably vote for public ownership, and quite a few would agree to rule changes that bankrupted those who currently own them (or is that just me ?) keep to the Fen Causeway
