Are they proposing to remove all staff from stations completely ? Or are they proposing to close the ticket offices and move the staff onto the platforms ?
Either way, slowly but surely the railways are being renationalised . The Tories were even creating a new railway operating company called Great British Railways .
@StrongestTeam and I assume you are not blind, a tourist, an OAP in a strange town or disabled ? It's all depressing.Of course it would be great if the dull jobs could all be mechanised efficiently so the staff could be free to concentrate on customer facing support...but if anyone really thinks that will happen you will also be expecting HS2 to be an economic boon and to come in on time and on budget.. I'm glad I am getting to the tailend of my commuting life!
I wanted to respond to that along the lines of being reminded of one or two significant others in the very dim and distant past (like 60 years ago) but decided it would be inappropriate.

The costs will be nationalised under the tories. The profits will remain privatised.

I'm surprised it took this long for someone to make it dirty!
Dirty @ReturnToSenda ? What on earth could you mean.
