#DisabledByTheRailway
The government has been accused of an “outrageous” failure to listen to disabled campaigners & allies who have been calling for ministers to include far stronger measures on accessibility & disability rights in their railways bill.
Our thoughts tonight are with the family and friends of the driver who died in the crash near Bedford today, and with the passengers injured in the accident.
We want to thank the emergency services who responded so quickly to help those on board and are still at the scene.
We are deeply disappointed that the govt failed to adopt our amendments for disability rights and accessibility.
The Railways Bill now moves on to the Lords, in urgent need of duties for rights enforcement, investment and representation.
Ministers condemned for ‘outrageous’ failure to listen to ‘vital’ demands on accessibility in railways bill
