🚨The role of Minister for Disabled People has officially been scrapped, Downing Street confirms.

We are appalled at the Government’s choice to cut a dedicated Minister at a time when our community faces ever mounting challenges. (1/4)

Stole this off Reddit. If this is real then it’s hilarious. The Loco in question was Flying Scotsman. Fairly distinctive…

… a quick check on RTT shows she was held and Hambleton for a few minutes, so it may tie in

I need you help travel nerds. Am I right in thinking that these 3 tiny steps are the only reason that Snaresbrook Tube Station is not step free to platform on the Eastbound Side? Because if that is the case it could be fixed in just one day. TfL am I wrong?

Fabulous visit to Gallions Reach to see the new DLR trains which will start to be rolled out from Spring 2024. Loving the walk through design and of course, the new moquette! 🚊🚈🚆

Enabling disabled people to make the journeys they want with freedom, dignity, ease and confidence must be a priority of any Government. Pleasure to speak at the Transport for All launch of their new report ‘Are We There Yet?’ about Labour’s ambitions for rail

Thank you to Stephen Morgan MP for speaking at the launch of our report on accessible transport in England. We look forward to working with you in future to ensure that disabled people's concerns are not only heard, but meaningfully acted upon by decision makers.

End of the week outing to look at the new SWR Help Arterio train. Shiny and new with some real plus points. As always, improvements possible. The Access Panel will feed these back. Hopefully addressed before it goes into service.

🧵The apparent lack of communication and slow response time to get passengers off to a place of safety is just as concerning. We have heard reports that some passengers even tried to open the doors themselves to self-evacuate. This is extremely dangerous 2/4

Every activist needs a recharge and their cynicism banishing. Achieved tonight by Billy Bragg, here on stage at Clapham Grand, and the fantastic audience.
