Daily Mirror - Ticket office closures break law

Summary of the front page

The Daily Mirror reports that five Labour mayors are warning rail companies they will take legal action unless plans to shut nearly 1,000 ticket offices in England are scrapped. The mayors say a 21-day consultation is “totally inadequate” and the plan punishes passengers, particularly those who are elderly and disabled. 

Writing in the Mirror, Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham says the simple answer to concerns about the cost of railways is public ownership. The Rail Delivery Group tells the paper that ticket office staff will be moved to station concourses, to help passengers there.
