STATION STAFF = SAFETY + SECURITY = SERVICE

Fewer station staff means:

• a less safe London Underground
• less information and help during delays and disruptions
• it will be harder to evacuation stations quickly and safely in the event of an emergency eg. fire, crash, bombing
• less help for disabled, elderly and other vulnerable passengers
• less chance of you getting the help you need with directions, information, lost property, accidents or other issues
• less deterrent to assault, vandalism and other harmful behaviour
• you will feel less secure travelling around London Underground

Shorter ticket office opening hours means you will not be able to get a ticket seller’s help when:

• you have a problem with your ticket or Oyster
• the ticket machines are not working (which will happen more often with fewer staff to service them)
• you need to buy a ticket that is not available elsewhere
• you believe that the ticketing system has treated you unfairly
• your ticket or Oyster does not work
• you want the ‘personal touch’ in dealing with your issue
