Cuts to SWT ticket office opening hours proposed

A train operator is refusing to confirm that three major Richmond borough stations will have fewer staff if proposals to reduce the opening hours of ticket offices are given the go ahead.

South West Trains (SWT) confirmed this week it had begun a consultation with unions and passenger groups into a reduction of opening hours at some "lesser used booking offices" which could see 118 positions lost.
