Plans to close rail ticket offices in England scrapped
By Katy Austin & Sam GruetBBC Business
Plans to close hundreds of rail ticket offices in England have been scrapped.
Transport Secretary Mark Harper said the proposals did not meet " The High thresholds" set by the government.
The plans, which were put forward by train companies in a move to cut costs, sparked concern from unions and disability groups.
Passenger watchdog Transport Focus said it objected to the proposals, saying it had heard " powerful and passionate concerns" about the potential changes.
Rail operators had argued only 12% of tickets are now bought at station kiosks.
