U-turn on ticket office closures at Rotherhithe and Surrey Quays - Southwark...

The reversal has been hailed by the RMT union who led a campaign against the changes as a "significant victory"

The proposed closure of ticket offices at Overground stations including Surrey Quays, Rotherhithe and Honor Oak Park will not go ahead following a U-turn.

TfL and Mayor Sadiq Khan have pledged an additional £5m in funding to keeping the ticket offices open following a backlash from the RMT union, which led a campaign against the changes, announced last September.

RMT General Secretary, Mick Cash hailed the reversal as a “significant victory,” saying it was proof trade union campaigning works.
