Kent, Sussex and South East London rail operator, Southeastern, has reminded passengers that they have seven days left to respond to proposals on the future of 40 London-located ticket offices. A full list can be found below.

Southeastern says that its proposals will make more staff available to assist passengers face-to-face, whilst providing more technology available for those passengers who are happy to ‘self-serve’.

The operator has also published Equality Impact Assessments to protect the interests of passengers with accessibility needs.

The first phase of the consultation for Southeastern aims to get views on the future of ticket offices that sell on average of less than 50 tickets daily, and the operator says many in that list sell 10 or fewer tickets a day.

The second phase of the consultation will include the rest of Southeastern’s ticket offices.

Steve White, Managing Director of Southeastern, said: “There’s just a week left to respond to the consultation on the future of 40 ticket offices in our Metro (London) area. Your views about your local station matter to us and the best way for you to be heard is by responding to this consultation.

“We’re committed to this process being transparent and meaningful. That’s why you can find full details of our proposals including the times at which stations will be staffed, a list of currently unstaffed stations would be re-staffed and crucially, Equality Impact Assessments to protect the interests of customers with accessibility needs.

“We really want to encourage as many people as possible to share their views with London TravelWatch in this phase of consultation.

“We believe the changes we are proposing will deliver a better, safer and more accessible railway at a lower cost to the taxpayer.”
