It& #39;s been a year since I posted this video of the reality of UK public transport in a wheelchair. For the weeks and months that followed, there was a flurry of media attention and meetings with my MP @Jeremy_Hunt and other government officials.

The answer is no. According to a government study from @railandroad, 26% of passengers assists fail to meet all requirements. I have offered countless feasible interim solutions before level boarding can be available, but all of them ignored. I don& #39;t know what to do anymore.
You can help by being a disability advocate. Is your company or business doing enough on accessibility? Ask disabled customers what you can do to tap into the purple pound which so many businesses are missing out on due to lack of awareness. Keep pushing for equality!
