The Commons Transport Committee expressed its concern in particular about how office closures would impact disabled passengers.
Plans that would see the widespread closure of ticket offices go “too far, too fast”, cross-party MPs have warned.
In the letter, dated October 20 and signed by Conservative MP and committee chair Iain Stewart, MPs also express concern about the “unacceptable” lack of information about the proposals from operators, the Rail Delivery Group and the Department for Transport. “This would allow for the alternative proposals, which at present are too vague, to be properly understood.”
A spokesperson for Rail Delivery Group said that it would “continue to engage with accessibility and safety groups”.
