Local train station ticket offices at risk of closure

Hinckley, Nuneaton and Loughborough station ticket offices could all close.

A consultation has been launched today by the Rail Delivery Group which could lead to some ticket office closures.

The proposals include moving staff out of ticket offices and onto station platforms 'with the potential to close ticket offices in a number of locations'.

Hinckley, Nuneaton and Loughborough station ticket offices could all be at risk.

The consultation states that on average 12% of ticket sales are from a ticket office.

The Rail Delivery Group say that 'ticket office facilities will remain open at the busiest stations and interchanges, selling the full range of tickets.'
