A motion opposing the closure of a staffed ticket office at Great Yarmouth railway station will be tabled at a council meeting.
Trevor Wainwright, leader of the Labour group at Great Yarmouth Borough Council (GYBC), said shutting the facility will "disproportionately affect elderly and disabled residents in Great Yarmouth as well as those with poor literacy and IT skills".
"Having a clearly sign-posted place in the station for people with ticket enquiries provides certainty and confidence for customers who may struggle to otherwise contact station staff," he said.

The motion is being put forward to full council on July 27.
It will ask members to instruct the chief executive to write to the secretary of state for transport and the railways minister, as well as Greater Anglia, expressing opposition to the closure of staffed rail ticket offices and in particular the office at Great Yarmouth.
If the motion passes, the council will also recommend that representatives from Greater Anglia are invited to attend a scrutiny committee meeting to discuss future plans in the borough.
