Ticket Office Closures Protest


Green Party Councillor Niki Crookdake and Mortlake resident Kim Marshall joined local people and representatives from charities supporting disabled people to protest against planned ticket office closures and reductions in staffing hours.

 

Mortlake station is currently staffed seven days a week but under South Western Railways proposal it will have its staffing hours cut, with no staff present on Friday and Saturday, only a token presence on Sunday morning and all evening hours cut.
