CAMPAIGNERS and trade unionists have called on the Scottish government to halt ScotRail’s proposed cuts to up to 100 ticket offices.

In a joint letter to Transport Secretary Fiona Hyslop today, the organisations said they were concerned that the SNP government authorised ScotRail to proceed with the plans which they said would worsen accessibility, safety and services for passengers.

ScotRail said in October that the hours at 54 ticket offices would be reduced while 12 at other stations would see their hours increased, citing figures that most travellers were buying tickets online.
