Alicia Kearns MP has launched a petition to install a ticket machine at Oakham Train Station.
Alicia Kearns, Member of Parliament for Rutland and Melton said:
“Oakham is the only train station in Rutland, and it is wrong that we don’t have a single ticket machine.
“With the consultation on the closure of manned railway ticket offices ongoing, we must ensure that those who cannot use contactless or mobile tickets are not excluded from accessing this vital service.
“I would encourage everyone who feels as strongly as I do about this to sign my petition on my website, which I will present to our local rail companies.”
The petition can be signed here.
Transport Focus' public consultation on the closure of manned ticket offices can be responded to here.
