I remember some time ago hearing Boris Johnson being quizzed about closing ticket offices on the underground. He was cagey then and now we know why - the plan is to shut them all by 2015, but I don't really know what the fuss is about except the potential loss of jobs.
Surely in this day and age cash buyers are rare, and as long as there is someone to assist the tourists with which platform to get on then it should be OK. I can see the unions getting shirty, but don't they always? If the tube network was being built now, I can't see there being many staff involved at all - automated drivers, tickets etc. would be the norm.
