Very well balanced BBC» (British Broadcasting Corporation - home page) article from Huddersfield on ticket office closures  - passengers, RNIB» (Royal National Institute for the Blind - about) and a chap from a Rail magazine interviewed - variety of views, all very objective and refreshingly free of ideology.

They do love sending reporters to stand inconveniently in a place that's vaguely pertinent to the subject but the pictures add no information, when the report could more easily and cheaply be done from a studio. There was one yesterday from a wet and windswept motorway bridge, with traffic underneath clearly heavy but flowing steadily.  It added nothing to the report but I ended up feeling sorry for the crew.

The reporter that was over the bridge was very busy as she ended up at Preston train station on the same day.
