Ticket Office Closures - Show Us The Stats!

Management argue that changes in customer ticket-buying behaviour are behind their move to close 40 ticket offices and cut dozens more. But they are well short of evidence.

They have documents and graphs. But while they claim that statistics show reduced usage of ticket offices, they seemed very...

Displaced again ... and again ...

LUL's ticket office closure plan will force many SAMFs to be displaced, including many who were displaced only just over a year ago under the 35-hour week.

Spare a thought for the Mansion House SAMF who was displaced out of his post, then transferred back under a priority move when a workmate...

Dear Tubeworker

I visited the East End of the District Line and witnessed ticket offices only being allowed to open in the peak and expected to open to give information at other times. Guess what information Joe Public wanted? Can you please sell me a ticket? As the answer was 'no' and a load of...

Fight Ticket Office Jobs Cull

At the Stations Functional Council meeting yesterday, LUL management dropped their bombshell - 40 ticket office to close completely, 240 SAMF jobs to go. That's "bombshell" not in the sense of being a surprise: it has long been obvious that further attacks were on the cards. (The Workers' Liberty pa...

Wot No Ticket Office?

If you've got a refurb coming up at your station, watch out ... You could see it reopen minus a ticket office.
