Have your say during month-long consultation

Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) is planning to close all ticket offices and it wants your views about it.

The company says the proposal aims to better reflect how most passengers now buy tickets – with nine in 10 purchases made outside of traditional ticket offices.

Apparently, no station that is staffed today – so that’s Bedford – would become unstaffed; and in-person help would still be available but the hours might change.

The public consultation runs for three weeks from today (Wednesday) to Wednesday, July 26.
