Wednesday 20 January: Demonstrate against ticket office closure at Queen’s Park station

The RMT union has organised a protest outside Queen’s Park station (London Underground Bakerloo Line/London Overground) from 07.30am on Wednesday 20 January. The protest coincides with a public consultation into the potential closure of the 11 remaining Tube ticket offices.

Queuing for an hour = “world-class customer service”?

The Evening Standard has published research by the TSSA union revealing that Tube passengers now have to queue for up to an hour in some stations where ticket offices have closed.

Support the Tube strikes!

HOLT supporters joined RMT, Aslef, TSSA, and Unite members on their picket lines on 8-9 July to support their strikes. We distributed a leaflet to the public explaining why a victory for the Tube workers is in the interests of passengers and the community, as well as the workers themselves.

Customer Disservice: The Reality of Stations Without Ticket Offices

Hands Off London Transport has received some testimonials from London Underground workers working at stations where the ticket office has already closed.

If LU really wants its customer service to be “world class”, it need to stop closures and re-open ticket offices!
