The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of train station ticket office closures on passengers in Aldershot constituency.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

Improving services for passengers is at the heart of our plans to improve Britain’s railways, and station staff play an important role in supporting passengers, especially those who require additional assistance. This Government has no plans to close ticket offices, and we expect train operating companies to take measures to ensure they are open at published times.
