Eh? LU isn't un-staffing its stations, it's redeploying ticket office
staff to general customer service roles.

is much use if you're being mugged or stabbed either.

They are reducing the total number of station staff though.
There are already a number of stations that are left un-staffed due to
staff shortages following the first part of the Shorter Working Week,
when Ticket Offices were closed and station staff numbers changed!
