TSSA and ASLEF joined forces at Labour’s National Policy Forum (NPF) last weekend to protest the government’s plans to close ticket offices across England.

EC member Gemma Southgate and Interim General Secretary Peter Pendle, together with Marios Alexandrou and Nicola Jukes, handed out TSSA’s postcards protesting the Government’s planned closure of ticket office to delegates at the NPF. They were joined by ASLEF General Secretary Mick Whelan and other members of ASLEF's delegation.

TSSA General Secretary, Peter Pendle, said “I was delighted by the solidarity shown by Mick Whelan and other comrades who joined TSSA in our action against the closure of ticket offices.

The postcards included QR codes which linked delegates to the Transport Focus’ consultation.

The consultation is still open, so please make sure you take part in the consultation nationally or in London.
