Some people fear closing ticket offices could be 'exclusionary' while others admit they no longer use them anyways
Jim Griffin, 43, was travelling to Dodworth via Barnsley when he stopped to share his thoughts on Thursday.
Commenting on the possible closure of the Barnsley ticket office, he added: "It will be a great loss."Lewis Baker, from Rochdale, said he travels by train almost every day "A lot of stations do not have ticket offices anymore, so you have to buy tickets on the train," he said. Mrs Taylor, 62, said: "It's the way of the world. For our age group we can manage but I do feel for folk who need to speak to somebody or would actually struggle to get on an app.'Ticket offices are safer'Gary Seymour said he wanted the ticket office in Barnsley to stay open
"I don't feel confident using the ticket machines because a lot of fraud could take place or you could get mugged. Ticket offices are safer."Pishdaad Modaressi said his dad relied on ticket office staff to help plan his journey "Because the ticket machine or the app will not tell you things you might want to know, like for example, 'what's the best route to take? how can I save money on my ticket' or, like, my dad always says, 'what's the most scenic route I can take?'."Fred Gallucci said any job losses as a result of the change could impact the local economy
