Default Chaos likely when they close ticket windows at King's Cross St. Pancras

I can see a candidate claiming that they will reopen ticket offices and
then come up with a budget just for one or two zone 1 stations if
elected.


Presumably the main users of ticket offices are tourists and visitors who
don't have a vote in the mayoral election.


But people running businesses in London, and their employees, have a

vested interest in tourists not being treated badly and failing to
return (or even come in the first place if they've heard bad reports).


No business vote (except in the City of London for their own mayor) and
staff need not live in Greater London and may be unable to afford to do so.

Votes for commuters !
