It is likely to cause issues for so many people who don't want to book tickets online or at self-service machines
A split has opened up between senior Lancashire politicians over controversial plans to scrap ticket offices at all of the county’s railway stations.
However, the authority’s cabinet member for highways and transport, Rupert Swarbrick, told the Local Democracy Reporting Service that the priority is to ensure that people “do not feel less safe to travel” as a result of any changes that do go ahead.
Speaking to the LDRS, he also accused the Tory group of failing to “stand up for rail users or the people of Lancashire”. Addressing the criticism, County Cllr Swarbrick said that the authority was analysing the “huge amount of data” available before making a submission to the consultation. “Our main priorities as we move forward are that staff remain visible and available, that vulnerable people with specific needs are not disadvantaged and that the changes do not make people feel less safe to travel,” County Cllr Swarbrick added.
