Many thanks to David Reed MP for raising the issue of bus stop boarders and bypasses in the UK House of Commons yesterday.

It is significant that Disability Labour - the Labour Party’s official disabled person’s affiliate organisation - has issued a statement that the government’s concessions are insufficient and is calling on all MPs to vote against the benefits Bill on Tuesday.

We all need to get around, but in the UK many disabled people like us are blocked from travelling because of large gaps and steps between the train and the platform. Level boarding solves that issue, so stations are more accessible to everyone - accessibility should be standard.

Has the mayor of London been blindfolded and asked to find his way to the bus stop and possibly do this on a regular basis to see how it leaves and feeling! That's if he doesn't get squashed in the process!

Disabled man floored by e-bike cyclist at ‘floating' bus stop. Mr Ward stated “I stepped into the cycle lane & this Lime bike came out of nowhere at quite a speed and hit me on the side and caught me in the ribs and my ankle” Camden New Journal⁩ camdennewjournal.co.uk/article/man-wi…

Not staffing Stoke Mandeville (of ALL stations) should be a crime. It’s such a disregard of disabled people.

Well done! Great to see at least one of them getting a shock of their own! Just hope this is dealt with by authorities!

71% of disabled people want to use more sustainable modes of transport, but face needless barriers such as overcrowding, missing announcements and a lack of lifts. Public transport must be accessible, so we can all make choices about how to travel.

Buses give everyone freedom and connection, but for disabled people barriers like missing ramps and lack of audio announcements create barriers to us travelling. We’re proud to support Bus Users UK #CatchTheBusMonth🚍🧡 bususers.org/catchthebusmon…

Train manager Veronica and catering manager Peter both absolutely fabulously helpful and kind on the 15:03 Guinness World Records service to Plymouth this afternoon! travelling as a blind person so stressful, so thoughtfulness like this makes it so much easier and achievable! thank you!

‼️Reminder: It is now MORE THAN 6 MONTHS since my mother and I met with Sir Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper at No 10 with our team, seeking a public inquiry into my father’s murder. They REFUSED to do that and instead urged us to work with Lord Anderson who was going to do a

I’ve shared the access refusal data with the Press. First left 140 wheelchair users at the side of the road in 9 months, but never mind hey, that’s apparently only 0.001% of journeys so let’s console ourselves with that 🙄 First is an operator with an attitude problem 🧵

York Barbican Requiring a paid Nimbus Access Card £15 to view/book accessible seating is exclusionary Non-disabled customers do not have to buy a card to access tickets Accessibility cannot be conditional on payment or membership. This is not a legal requirement under the Equality Act 2010.

The Nimbus Access Card is a scam created by a company who take advantage of people’s ignorance of the law.

Travelling with confidence looks different for all of us, and reliable staff assistance plays a vital role. We are very concerned that if TfL took away ticket offices, it would be harder for Disabled people to get the assistance we need. Read the full story 👇

So this morning I attempt to order tickets for Gary Numan at the Palace Bowl but the venue insists on a Nimbus Disability Card. No route to apply without one. That's why disabled people are so annoyed. This IS illegal. It can be A route but not the ONLY route. So no Numan for me.
