Under the terms of the Ticketing Settlement Agreement

“the opening hours of each Ticket Office must be prominently displayed at a location nearby that is accessible to members of the public at all times unless the Authority agrees otherwise” (s6-16, p.144).


It is for the operator to decide where the times are displayed. Therefore, the Department has no information as to how many would be on ticket machines.
