Teresa Pearce – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Transport

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Teresa Pearce on 2016-02-19.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what estimate his Department has made of the proportion of railway stations that will be unstaffed in (a) 2020 and (b) 2025.

Claire Perry

Station staffing levels are a matter for operators. Whilst we regulate Ticket Office opening times through the Ticketing and Settlement Agreement station staffing levels are a matter for operators as we believe that railway operators themselves are best placed to determine how to meet the needs of their passengers.
