I thought they were closing the offices and putting some of those people in the stations to assist on the shop floor? Can't see a problem with just using ticket machines. And if there is a handy high vis clad "travel coordinator manager executive assistant" somewhere to help when I have spent 10 minutes trying to shove my fiver into the credit card slot then that is a bonus.
I've been through London only a handful of times, so not enough to get familiar with the underground system, but I've never had to use a manned ticket counter, or felt the need to, so a big fuss about nothing in my view. I would have more sympathy if they were just striking about the loss of jobs, but grinding London to a halt because some ticket offices are getting shut, seems OTT to me.
