Fight to save Norwich’s ticket office
Green Party councillor, Alex Catt has launched a petition to save the ticket office at Norwich Railway Station.
Councillor Catt said:
“The closure of Norwich and Norfolk’s ticket offices would affect hundreds of passengers and staff across the county. Not having a ticket office would make travelling by train less safe, impractical and even inaccessible for many people who depend on rail travel.
“These plans are about cutting jobs and making higher profits for rich rail bosses when Greater Anglia’s priority should be providing a reliable and affordable service for passengers. Railway companies should be paying their staff fairly and treating them well, but instead private railway companies are taking in excess of £500 million in annual profits.”
Councillor Catt’s petition, which asks for ticket offices to be kept open in Norwich, Norfolk and across the country, can be found at bit.ly/save-our-ticket-office.
Greater Anglia is carrying out a public consultation on whether to close ticket offices. The consultation ends on 26th July. Responses can be sent via https://act.newmode.net/action/trades-union-congress/save-your-greater-anglia-ticket-offices
