LABOUR'S Neil Bibby has blasted proposals to close two train station ticket offices in Inverclyde and slash opening hours across the district.
ScotRail wants to shut the booking offices Cartsdyke and Woodhall.
Opening times at Port Glasgow, Greenock Central, Greenock West, Gourock and Wemyss Bay would also be significantly reduced if the controversial plans are given the go-ahead.
Mr Bibby said: “Routes are being slashed, fares are being hiked and now ticket desks in Inverclyde are being shut.
“Whatever ScotRail might say, these cuts will hit passengers, threaten jobs and undermine station safety.
“It is now a matter of months until ScotRail comes into public hands – and the SNP-Green government are laying the groundwork by nodding through one round of cuts after another."
