Capital Connect plan to close the Loughborough Junction Station ticket office from 12.45 noon weekdays and all day Saturday and Sunday

Obviously whilst no trains at the weekend that part of the move is acceptable as a temporary measure but the move to close at 12.45 noon all week is the thin edge of the wedge as it will make the station much less safe.

The reason for this is reduced ticket sales however the biggest issue for locals and people using the station is safety. It seems obvious that without staff at the station, it will suffer from vandalism and the risk of muggings and other attacks on passengers would be greatly increased.

We invite you to sign this petition against the reduced hours and early closure of the ticket office.
