Now imagine if you didn’t know your rights. You’d be stranded / turned away. This is why I keep banging my rage fuelled drum, right here 👇🏻

@ImAnAutie @flowergirl_lon @networkrail @TransportCttee @railandroad This! They've tried to refuse me tuag before because they didn't have staff to assist me. I told them I can get myself to the platform, and ask TM to board me. Got told I couldn't do that. I persisted, but I shouldn't have had to.

@networkrail disabled people have the EXPLICIT legal right to spontaneous travel - ‘Turn up & Go’ What’s this notice for please? This reads as though you think that you can decide whether to behave lawfully or not owing to staff availability? Cc @TransportCttee @railandroad
Katie Harriott@KatieHarriott9

@nationalrailenq "staff availability" would not be a legally valid excuse to refuse someone

@WriterARM246 @TfL Wow, YES very similar! I did pass that overhead sign saying to continue down the platform for the wheelchair boarding point, and did so until I reached a car labelled with blue wheelchair symbols. I got onto that car and it never aligned with the level access platform areas.

@annalandre @TfL May be wrong, but this sounds similar to the predicament I found myself in last year. Wrote to TfL

@TfL I got on a Northern Line train at Battersea Power Staion at the doors marked with a wheelchair symbol but they don’t align with the raised platform at Kennington and I’m stuck. What do I do? Now at Leicester Square

No wonder there is a severe lack of #disabled suitable housing. We need local authorities to refuse planning permission for developments of 10 or more homes unless 30% are to #BuildingRegulations2010 M4(3) this also needs to be included in the #NationalPlanningPolicyFramework.

@TfL Any other wheelchair user or mobility disabled person who boards that train will have the same crisis and be trapped as I was. Carriages need to be arranged correctly or wheelchair access stickers need to be removed. They are not decorative.

@TfL I went all the way to high Barnet where staff assisted and now on my long way home but that train needs to be take out of service immediately bc the carriage labelled with the wheeelchair stickers is in the wrong place. Not lining up with raised platforms.

Masterclass in saying you don't give a shit about disability discrimination without saying those words. Steve here already knows the "procedure above" is a dead link. Litigation is it then chaps, because fuck this disablist bullshit.
GWR@GWRHelp

I'm sorry to hear you feel it was inappropriate for this customer to place a bag here. I can't advise not being there myself. I can only go off what the train manager claims to be appropriate for sharing these spaces. I won't be able to request an apology, I can only suggest you follow the complaints procedure outlined above - Steve

This is the pathetic response from @GWR when informed that a train manager has refused to enforce GWR's own policy on luggage in wheelchair spaces. I shouldn't have to fight to get basic dignity & protection for my mobility aid when travelling home from work.
GWR@GWRHelp

Good evening Becca. I'm very sorry to hear that. Can you still access this chair easily? Please ask the customer with the bag to remove this when you require access to the chair. I'm very sorry to hear that this has happened. Please inform another member of staff if you require any assistance - Steve

@CrossCountryUK Hi, I’m on the 1:15 from Leeds to Plymouth. I’m in coach F and the wheelchair space is full of luggage. I personally don’t need the space, but wanted to let you know.

24-year-old Hunter Adkins, who lived with muscular dystrophy, died after a fall while being assisted onto an Allegiant Air flight. A lawsuit alleges he was placed in a wheelchair without safety straps while boarding was rushed. What happened to Hunter raises serious concerns about how passengers with disabilities are treated when it matters most. people.com/man-fatally-fa…

I was unable to be admitted to hospital yesterday for cardiac treatment because no skilled carers were in place for the weekend . @wesstreeting @SKinnock can you urgently review how this package is being delivered & ensure the safe, skilled care funded for (CHC) is in place
Rachel A-S@Chuffin_ell

23 years of care. A child with highly complex needs. A package that should be 24/7 skilled support. Instead: untrained staff, no continuity, no safety. This is what system failure looks like in real life. Thread 🧵
