Ticket Office Closures On The London Underground

EDM number 1706 in 2006-07, proposed by John McDonnell on 14/06/2007.

That this House is alarmed that London Underground intends to close 40 ticket offices and drastically to reduce the opening hours of dozens of more ticket offices; notes the concerns expressed by passenger groups and trade unions at the proposals; is further concerned that the closures will remove an essential service to passengers, make passengers feel more vulnerable and lead to increased assaults on staff; believes that the proposals are ill-thought out; and therefore urges Transport for London to withdraw these unnecessary and dangerous cuts.

This motion has been signed by a total of 35 MPs.
