A protest against the closure of Exmouth station’s ticket office will take place tomorrow, Thursday, July 13.

Rail union the RMT is organising protests at stations all over the country during the next few days to campaign against train operators' plans to close up to 1,000 ticket offices.

Activists will be at Exmouth station between 8am and 12pm. There will also be a protest at Exeter St David’s at 9am.

RMT general secretary Mick Lynch said: "Our union is taking our campaign to save ticket offices out into every town, city and village in this country. 

 "The recent announcements of ticket office closures is a fig-leaf for the wholescale de-staffing of stations, including safety critical train dispatch, safety critical train despatch staff, passenger assistance and other non-ticket office customer service workers. 

 "Ticket office closures under Schedule 17 means there will be no regulations on staffing levels at stations whatsoever. 

 "Train operators will then be free to staff or de-staff any station to whatever level they choose. 

"Our union and the travelling public do not want a de-humanised railway that will be a rife with crime and anti-social behaviour, inaccessible to the most vulnerable.

“The RMT is encouraging everyone to take part in the consultation, so rail companies and the government understand how much rail passengers value their ticket offices and staff.”
