National ticket office consultation launched: EMR asks for views about plans to modernise customer service across rail network

• Staff would move out of ticket offices and on station platforms, concourses and ticket halls, adopting new
‘customer help’ roles already in place in many parts of the railway
• Proposals mean more face-to-face support available across the network to choose the cheapest tickets and advise on journey planning, as well as support those with accessibility needs
• Rail industry says bringing customer service roles up to date is long overdue, following a collapse in numbers of people using ticket offices
