The latter option means taking out seats on existing trains. But it would be a good idea to have more than one on new build trains going forward. Might mean that trains need to add an extra carriage, but extra capacity isn't a bad thing - and it would mean more space for the mobility impaired.

Things have got significantly better over the last 25 years on the network, especially for those with varying levels of mobility. It isn't perfect: nothing is. But what do we do if the accessible toilet is out of order? Cancel the whole train? Or change regulations to make every toilet accessible?

Man came up to me in Nantwich earlier on, and informed me that he didn’t want me to get any more funny looks because I’d got a large clump of Brylcream on the back of my head… Oops! 😂

Enjoy Stroud!
