Train passengers in Manchester have vented their anger after reports ticket offices at hundreds of railway stations across the country could soon be closed.
The Department for Transport insisted to the Manchester Evening News that 'no final decision has been taken' despite reports closures could come into force as early as next month, when passengers would be forced to buy all tickets online or from machines.
Rail unions, too, have referenced the closure of nearly 1,000 ticket offices in a move they said would 'further de-staff the rail network' and lead to countless job losses, which they said they would fight.
