Ticket offices in Huntingdon and St Neots railway stations are two of nearly 1,000 across England under threat of closure.
According to the Railway Delivery Group (RDG), who say the proposals are aimed at modernising customer service, the share of train tickets purchased from station offices has dramatically decreased from 85 per cent in 1995 to just 12 per cent today.
The move has seen plenty of criticism from various unions and organisations, and there are some concerns that elderly people could be "digitally excluded".
Councillor for Huntingdon North East Ward, Cllr David Landon Cole, said on Facebook: "I'm particularly concerned about the effect this will have on people with disabilities.
"There won't be a single point of contact, and you'll have to traipse around the platform to find a member of staff who may be busy doing other things in a noisy environment, for starters.
"Beyond that, I worry that this is going to lead to there being more times when stations are unstaffed. That's not good for anyone."

Other Southern ticket offices proposed for closure include those at Arlesey, Biggleswade Downham Market and Kings Lynn railway stations.
The RDG has, however, highlighted alternative methods of payment, such as tapping contactless cards on barriers, using self-service machines, or purchasing tickets from staff on station concourses or trains when possible.
The Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union has said that it will vigorously oppose the proposals.
Cllr Landon Cole added: "I travel by train quite a lot - I'm used to split ticketing, I'm happy to have tickets on a mobile phone, and all the rest.
"However, I still find the machines a pain to use, and they don't always offer the best deal.
"They certainly don't offer the knowledge, and friendly face, of ticket staff who have the time to work out the route to get you where you want to go that, fits your needs - quickest, cheapest, least changes, and so on."
A petition on the UK Parliament website has since been launched calling for train operators to keep ticket offices and platform staff at train stations.
The petition is currently on more than 40,000 signatures.
Consultations - have your say
The RDG has since launched a public consultation on the proposed ticket office closures, and train companies across England will engage with passengers to gather their input.
Posters are being displayed at nearly all stations across England and on train operators' websites that invite passengers to take part in consultations on the changes.
After three weeks of consultations, there will be a two-week period of assessment while organisations consider the feedback they've received.
The watchdog Transport Focus will then gauge how the move will affect passengers, station staffing levels, and disabled people's access to stations.
The Government will then have the final say on which ticket offices will close their doors.
