Fears plans may be revived after protests dérailed them

A transport union boss today warns the Tories not to revive hated plans to axe 974 railway ticket offices.

The Mirror and unions won a huge victory last week when the industry and the Tories abandoned the scheme.

Drawn up the train companies, the proposals had been backed by ministers and PM Rishi Sunak who called them "the right thing for the British public".

But though they were forced into a humiliating U-turn after a huge public revolt, insiders believe the Government could plot to resurrect the plan.
