WHITECHAPEL LONDON UNDERGROUND STATION TICKET OFFICE

Early day motion 381, tabled 10 July 2013 by Jeremy Corbyn (Labour). Signed by 5 members.

That this House is concerned that the proposals to close ticket offices on the railway will worsen passenger services through the loss of thousands of frontline workers from ticket offices; is deeply concerned that the proposal to close the ticket office in Whitechapel London Underground station during the process of rebuilding the station for Crossrail breaks the principle of a staffed ticket office at each London Underground station; is dismayed at the prospect of the local community and users of the busy local market and hospital being denied access to a staffed ticket office; is further concerned that the closure may become permanent in an attempt to shut ticket offices one by one; believes that all railway stations and London Underground stations should be fully staffed to ensure safety and accessibility for all passengers; and opposes the closure of any ticket offices even on a temporary basis.

Signatures by party: Labour 5.
