Written Question
South Eastern Trains: Ticket Offices
Thursday 10th April 2025

Asked by: Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb (Green Party - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact on people with disabilities of the plans of South Eastern Trains to cut ticket office hours by an estimated 555 hours each week across 14 stations, according to the Association of British Commuters.

Answered by Lord Hendy of Richmond Hill - Minister of State (Department for Transport)

Ensuring accessibility for all passengers is at the heart of our passenger-focussed approach. Southeastern Trains (SET) is seeking to implement changes to ticket office opening hours at 14 of its stations. We are aware that SET’s proposals include mitigations to ensure staff would continue to be available to support passengers.

Written Question
Railways: Disability
Thursday 10th April 2025

Asked by: Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb (Green Party - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they intend to ensure that additional railway station staff are employed to help people with disabilities negotiate barriers to travelling on public transport following their proposed cuts to personal independence payments.

Answered by Lord Hendy of Richmond Hill - Minister of State (Department for Transport)

Providing assistance for passengers who require it is crucial. Under license conditions and as part of their Accessible Travel Policy (ATP), operators must participate in the Passenger Assist scheme. This scheme is designed to help disabled passengers and those with additional needs to use the rail network with confidence and in safety. More broadly, rail operators are responsible for ensuring staff are available to deliver this assistance.

Written Question
Great Western Railway: Ticket Offices
Thursday 10th April 2025

Asked by: Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb (Green Party - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the report published by the Association of British Commuters on 7 March which found that Great Western Rail cut ticket office staffing by 344 hours each week across 39 stations between 2022 and 2024.

Answered by Lord Hendy of Richmond Hill - Minister of State (Department for Transport)

Any changes to ticket office opening hours in relation to regulated stations covered by Schedule 17 of the Ticketing and Settlement Agreement must be made following the Ticketing and Settlement Agreement process and Secretary of State guidance. Ticket office changes made by Great Western Railway in 2022 followed that process and guidance.
