Lanarkshire councillors angry over proposals to cut hours at station ticket office

Two local councillors have slammed proposals to cut hours at Shotts train station ticket office.

Kenneth Stevenson and Martin McCulloch, Labour councillors for Fortissat, say the proposals are "not good for the community".

Rail operators ScotRail are proposing to have the ticket office staffed for 24 hours 15 minutes per week - that's a reduction of around 17 hours from the current 41 hours .
