In Bexley's eight Railway Ticket Offices will close within 3 years - Welling, Falconwood, Barnehurst, Bexleyheath, Slade Green, Albany Park, Erith and Belvedere. This follows a government decision with Rail Operators announced yesterday.

The consultation is open just over the holiday period and closes in three weeks - 26th July 2023.

Once legal duty to staff ticket offices ends train operators have no legal requirement to staff stations. For unaccompanied vulnerable or disabled passengers this could make rail travel completely inaccessible.

Pensioners Passenger Groups and Disability Forums have raised concerns over 'discrimination' on public transport to the government and cite safety for vulnerable passengers being negatively impacted.

To have your say on ticket office closures complete this survey by 26th July. https://www.londontravelwatch.org.uk/southeastern-ticket-office-consultation/

Nationally these proposals will result in major destaffing of railways to be implemented swiftly. Concerns over negative impact on economy and accessibility of public transport are emerging.
