Came across this clip which tells us nothing new. But sustained pressure and media attention is all good news to help encourage companies to make life more accessible for us all. Maybe a good hit rate will encourage the BBC to take it further. Worth a try...

For those that don't know
Train systems were built with acts of parliment
All train companies have to leagaly do is conform to todays building regs on new build
To force them to upgrade all lines will take a act of parliment
Don't be fooled by the trains now having sliding door access
Thats because thats all they can purchase as all trains built have to confirm to EU regs
Thanks to the EU we now have train carrages we can use
Now if only we could use the stations
