Oh GWR it goes from bad to worse with yodenying delay repay for last Fri night. What part of delaying wheelchair users journey until 2am is not a delay everyone else straight on a train??? No I'm not submitting it again. ⚫Jamie (He/Him) ♿ 🦻🇮🇪 ⚕ Sam (Flower Girl) Jennings JELLY HEAD Tanni Grey-Thompson

Oh look, Eurostar changed their website text about assistance in St Pancras. It's now about 'the repair state of the wheelchair' not about using the wheelchair at all. 😂 Still not a very welcoming text but better than before.

So get to Leeds. They didn’t know which end of the train I was on. Go up in a lift to find the next lift wasn’t working. So had to go back

A good day for trains. New street there to meet me. Onto next train. The new staff member checked the ramp, toilet and wheelchair space before I got on 🥳

Update on le shitshow: New Street insisting they DID call and apparently it’s even marked on the paperwork that they called. Who knows. All I know is someone fucked up here and it sure as shit wasn’t me

WTAF 🙀 this is unbelievable. How are mystery shoppers “role playing” as disabled going to give accurate and helpful feedback?! How was this even allowed?

Thank you to the lovely young man you realised what was going on. Offered to help before we got into the station got off the train to look for member of staff and said he’d wait or stand in the door until I got off. Thank you.

I've always wondered this...... I have these tags that you can put on people's luggage to tell em not to put it in wheelchair spaces.

Get them from Stickman Communications ltd

Oi Birmingham New Street , why was I just stranded on a train at Birmingham international, resulting in me pulling the alarm and fellow passengers running upstairs to get assistance, because YOU hadn’t told international I was coming?! Please explain yourselves

This shocked me Doug Paulley, but there are even worse examples than this on 🚍 &🚉.

Just this morning, I had to balance half of my chair on the bus ramp to get on before getting the other half onto it because the shelter-pavement space was too narrow bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-eng…

.TfL I would like to file a complaint because the 8 bus that arrived at stop H at 20:04 did not let me on because the driver said the ramp was not working. Please file for me and DM me the complaint number.

Disappointing, but not entirely surprising behaviour, considering the RDG’s willing participation in the DfTs ticket office closure plans…

Yet another example of the culture change needed across UK railways.
