Good to see plans to close ticket offices across the WM have been scrapped.

As I outlined back in August, I had significant concerns with the proposals around accessibility, assistance & information.

Pleased the Government has listened & changed course.

Iโ€™ve been clear alongside Suzanne Webb MP that the ticket office at Stourbridge Junction & others across the WM must not close โœ‹๐Ÿป

Modernising rail ticketing is important, but issues over accessibility & staffing need to be addressed.

Great to meet the campaigners & George The Stourbridge Junction Station Cat ๐Ÿˆ

Cancelling HS2 northbound was a terrible decision - but all is not lost for the future.

With the private sector and our friends in the North, weโ€™re coming together to look at how we can improve connectivity & capacity between the WM & Manchester ๐Ÿค๐Ÿป
