There will be just three manned ticket offices left open in Shropshire.
The Rail delivery Group says just 12 per cent of train tickets are bought from manned offices at stations
The vast majority of ticket offices at railway stations are owned and run by train operators, which are under pressure from the Government to save money amid the drop in revenue caused by the coronavirus pandemic. “TfW does not have any immediate plans to make similar wholesale changes to any of our ticket offices in Wales, to the ticket offices we manage in England or to the ticket offices operated by our retail agents.All the remaining ticket offices in the county are set to close and will join the hundreds across the country set to be axed.
Ian McConnell, managing director of West Midlands Railway, said: “We need to evolve with our customers, as well as creating a more sustainable railway that’s fit for the future.
