Ticket offices close today

TICKET offices on London Underground will start closing today under a controversial programme to switch staff to platforms and make savings of £50 million a year.

Transport for London said under a phased programme, starting with several stations this month, staff will move from ticket offices to halls, gate lines and platforms.

Unions and Labour continued to attack the closures, warning that services to passengers will suffer. More than 250 ticket offices will eventually close with the loss of hundreds of jobs.
