Transport Focus and London TravelWatch will reveal their decisions on whether they support or oppose the closure of ticket offices at railway stations in England. Train operators and the Rail Delivery Group have proposed the closure of the majority of ticket offices to cut costs amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The plan has faced criticism from various groups regarding accessibility, safety, and staffing concerns.
