When is this meant to be happening? By the end of the year, so I am led to believe. Regents Park will re- open without a Ticket Office as it has already been removed. If the Gateline cannot be monitored, either directly or remotely then it should be left open, so it depends on staffing levels and CCTV availability. If you go to a ticket window, the member of staff (if safe to do so) is meant to assist you in using a Passenger Operated Machine. If this is broken they can either visit a newsagents or can travel and pay at their destination, but what they CANT do is be sold a ticket from, the, errmm, Ticket Office. The seller then leaves themselves open to disciplinary action. Not exactly World Class..... |

As stations are being refurbished, extra ticket machines are being installed and the ticket office becomes an information point, staffed during most of the day. It's a logical consequence of the growth of Oyster in London and Navigo in Paris (similar to Oyster but without PAYG). -- Richard J. (to e-mail me, swap uk and yon in address) |

It seems strange that they can only make refunds by paper voucher and not by crediting an Oyster card directly. |

Yes - staff will be standing by active (i.e. closed) barrier gates but
refusing to sell tickets. BTW how do you buy a privelege ticket in suh circumstances? |

Taken from: http://www.workersliberty.org/node/8463 snip What happens if you want a new Oyster Card, will there be Oyster Dispensers here like those seen elsewhere? What if you want a ticket the machines can't produce (eg: Priv/Staff 75% discount)? |

What if you want a ticket the machines can't produce (eg: Priv/Staff 75% discount)? You get your Oyster PRIV enabled by filling out the appropriate form from the Rail Staff Travel section of the ATOC website [1] and getting it authorised by your Manager, then taking it to an Underground Ticket Office that *is* open. If you use your Oyster for commuting, or other Business purposes, then you also need to stump up a £3 deposit to get a new card. If you want a Railcard-discounted Off-Peak Travelcard, you need to go to a National Rail Ticket Office (if you want Amersham as well) or Ticket Machine (if you don't).
