Union members have been canvassing support outside Hull Paragon Station in a bid to protect rail jobs.
Passengers have been signing postcards today which Rail union RMT will send to the the Department for Transport (DfT) as part of its consultation over the future of both the Northern and Trans-Pennine Express franchises which provide services in East Yorkshire.
The RMT claims the Government proposals could see the loss of train guards and ticket offices at smaller stations closing.
The RMT's Hull branch secretary Peter March said: "The Government proposals are trying to do away with guards on the trains and closing down ticket offices.
"There are 80-90 guards operating out of Hull and the likes of Beverley and Brough ticket offices could close which will affect a further 20 people."
RMT members asked members of the public to sign post cards objecting to the proposals. They were outside the station between 11am and 1pm.
Mr March said: "We hope to get at least 500 people to sign the postcards during our time outside Hull's Paragon Station."
The RMT believes the consultation on the future of the Northern and Trans-Pennine, which is due to end on August 18, is being rushed.
