'Unfit for Future: Losing Staff and Ticket Offices on the Tube'

Episode 1 - Accessibility on the Tube This year there are going to be a lot of changes on the London Underground, and they may affect your ability to travel. By 2016 all of the ticket offices on the tube will be closed, and 900 staff are being cut from tube stations. Transport for London have called this programme of changes ‘Fit for the Future’; but is it really ‘fit’ for London? Over the next few months I will be investigating what these changes mean for Londoners, whether they be staff on the tube, or everyday commuters. In episode one of this series - I wanted to look at the affect these changes would have on passengers with disabilities. The loss of 301 ticket offices and 900 staff on the tube has a disproportionate affect on passengers with disabilities, who often need extra assistance. I went to speak with Jeff and Mike, who are members of Transport for All, an organisation who have been championing for better accessibility on London's transport for over two decades. They told me about some of their concerns. If you experience any difficulties in your journey,you can tell me you story at: [email protected].
