As I mentioned above, this change allows the Rail companies to easily run down the station staffing numbers over time to improve their profits.
I'm pretty sure the money will flow as savings to the government as the government now takes revenue risk. Train companies will not mind the reduction in revenue as it won't impact them.
This is all about the dead hand of government hiding behind private sector companies, some of whom are in fact subsidiaries of European rail operators.
