Disabled Passenger Numbers Hit Record Levels
The title of this post is that of an article in Rail Technology Magazine.
It certainly shows that rail companies are going the right way!
One thing you notice in London is the increase in the number of disabled and blind passengers being guided by staff.
Perhaps the perceived increase in London is due to their simple policy on help. This is said.
On the Tube, TfL Rail and Overground, station staff will also accompany you to the train and help you on board and, if needed, can arrange for you to be met at your destination. Anyone can use this service, but it is particularly used by blind and visually impaired passengers and people using boarding ramps onto trains.
If you would like to use this service, ask a member of staff when you arrive at the station.
I hope things are as relaxed elsewhere.

This service is available via Shopmobilty Manchester too – they will meet you with a scooter, wheelchair, guide or whatever, and then when you have finished whatever you are doing, they will come and collect it – they do this a lot for trains and trams I gather.
