Don’t forget Liverpool and Newcastle. Also Northern Trains and South Eastern trains have level boarding train orders pending.

I also hear rumours that Transpennie Express are now adjusting their tender for new trains to make them of Level boarding design.

Well isn’t that an interesting take. Fact is ScotRail got new trains under privatisation. So nationalisation is a con. I’m sure disabled passengers are delighted.

More bikes by the hbf as we get set for our next destination. While I post some photos of more bikes and some DB level boarding (some trains you have to step down into) anyone want to guess our next (and final) destination?
