Plans for a huge number of train station ticket closures across the country could see 75 jobs in the Liverpool City Region cut, with 18 local stations left without a ticket office facility.
Union bosses have described the shock proposals from the government and the Rail Delivery Group (RDG) representing private railway operators as 'absolute madness' and warned they will have a 'devastating' impact on vulnerable and disabled rail users around the city region.
The plans unveiled this week would see up to 1,000 ticket offices across the country shut down permanently, in what the RMT union has labelled a 'savage attack' on railway workers, their families and the travelling public.
