Found on a train, bus, DLR or Tube in the process of some mad challenge and campaigning for more step free access on public transport. I’m going to Wheelchair Across The Alps in June 2025 for Ataxia UK.

In 1913, New York City's Grand Central Terminal became the first "stairless" train station in the world.
1913!
And in the 21st Century, the UK can't even work out how to provide level boarding for trains.

The History Of The Wheelchair Ramp Represents The Fight For Accessibility
The history of the wheelchair ramp may go back thousands of years to ancient Greece, but buildings were not legally required to have wheelchair ramps until 1990.

Really enjoyed @geofftech.bsky.social long form video on Britain’s Buses at their Best. I’m now seriously thinking of going to Brighton to ride the bus along the coast with the double wheelchair spaces.

I’m wheel’n all 26.2 miles of the @LondonMarathon this Sunday to raise money for @AtaxiaUK in my wheelchair. Hopefully I will also raise awareness of my rare neurological disease, #ataxia. This is my bib number if you want to follow my progress.

This photo sums up what I love about traveling on the Tube. Thank you TfL staff for all your help in 2023. Looking forward to seeing you all in 2024.

Random stranger just came up to me and wanted to gift me an Uber while I was waiting at the bus stop after getting of the tube. Very kind of him but declined as it would mean I wouldn’t get to ride on the bus. He looked really disappointed.

So sorry final got around to joining this app. Not sure what I’m going to post about on here but I have a feeling transport and disability might get talked about.
