.@TransportForAll what did you say & recommend to theDfT about the floating bus stop guidance please. Blind people are being discriminated against & we cannot understand how this guidance was published as it is. It solves none of the safety or accessibility concerns raised?

.@TransportForAll what did you tell the Dept for Transport over the floating bus stop guidance please? As we cannot understand how the new published Guidance ensures safe and accessible access to bus stops for blind people? x.com/nfbuk/status/2…

Well done to our fantastic team who handed an updated petition into @Heidi_Labour on International White Cane Day following @LordPeterHendy unacceptable response to Lord Snapes & Lord Holmes concerns raised in @UKHouseofLords debate on Bus Services (No2) Bill on 13th October 2025

.@Keir_Starmer Routing cycle lanes on & through the pavement at bus stops breaches BS8300-1:2018 ‘Design of an Accessible & Inclusive Built Environment’ Section 6.2.2 on Bus Stops which states ‘pedestrians should have access to & from the bus stop without crossing cycle routes’.

‘The tragedy is that visually impaired people are ending up at the bottom of the pile & are designed out of the environment’ Andrews words about a pavement-less bus stop on the new Lea Bridge Road cycle lane in London. @LouHaigh @simonlightwood we need urgent help on this issue.

The @BSI_UK knows float bus stops aren’t #accessible and government want them to help regulate construction products yet they choose to ignore @BSI_UK when it suits them. Government incompetence.

In which @Mather_Keir pretends floating bus stops are accessible for everyone when responding to MPs in the Access Denied debate. The whole of the UK sight loss community knows this to be untrue.

.@LordPeterHendy @Heidi_Labour this is terrifying for any pedestrian. @danielmgmoylan @LordChrisHolmes please ask Lord Hendy when does he expect floating bus stops like these in Waltham Forest to be removed?

A call for floating bus stops to be banned by @MarshadeCordova in the debate ‘Transport Accessibility for Disabled People’ 👏👏👏 #AccessDenied

@SarahLudford Maybe the bridge gods are trying to tell you that walking & cycling is the future in London

Petition handed into @Keir_Starmer yesterday to halt anymore floating bus stops as the Bus Services (No2) Bill Committee @HouseofCommons meets for the 1st time today, with this message from Hyacinth ‘The Bus Bill as it stands will not work for people like myself - blind people’
