- Question by: Joanne McCartney
- Meeting date: 20 June 2012
So, can I ask, one of the concerns, particularly in the recent McNulty Report, was around the ability to close category E ticket offices, which are the smaller ticket offices, but which offer vital assistance to commuters, particularly in my constituency, for example. In that franchise that is coming up in the autumn, the Great Northern, part of Thameslink franchise now, I have Grange Park and Bowes Park that are actually grade E. Are you having an influence in that and can I ask you today, can you ask for conditions for those ticket offices to remain open?
