RAIL union RMT is set to hold a national day of action on Tuesday against plans by Tory ministers and rail bosses to close nearly all ticket offices across the rail network.
The campaign, backed by fellow transport union TSSA, will see demonstrations at stations including York, Birmingham New Street, London Kings Cross and many other stations.
Moves to axe close to 1,000 offices from next month are “clearly about protecting the profits of train companies by further de-staffing the rail network,” the union’s general secretary Mick Lynch charged.
