As time passes I'm less of a girl and more of a cripple. Always sarcastic. Often offensive. Rarely misunderstood.

And how am I now supposed to get to work? I have to interchange there because there are so few stations in central London with Step Free access.
Am I going to have to go from 3 tube lines to 4?
Not impressed at all @MayorofLondon thought you were making things better.

[Lisa Jonas @CrippleGirl]

Asking for a friend (well all #Disabled people):
@TfLAccess @tfl is it right that there is no step free access to and from the Jubilee Line at Green Park to end November 2025?
Where was the advanced notice?

[Lisa Jonas @CrippleGirl]

@josiedobrin @TfLAccess Sadly @TfLAccess never bothered responding. The lift is back in service though. Well, till the next time it breaks.

[Lisa Jonas @CrippleGirl]

Dear @TfLAccess
The lift to the Vuctoria Line at Green Park station has not been working since last Thursday.
It's making my already challenging commute even harder.
Any idea when either of the 2 lifts will be fixed? It doesn't seem to be a priority.

A wheelchair user

@D_Bellwood @NationalTheatre Each and everyone of them is brilliant

[Lisa Jonas @CrippleGirl]

@simonminty @ManzisSoho I hear the prawns are good

[Lisa Jonas @CrippleGirl]

Chair covers and mimi ramps are not going to have an impact.
Try lifts to the Northern line at Euston and Waterloo. Or from the Victoria line at Oxford Circus.
But that won't happen as @TfL don't really want to invest in access for all.

Transport for London aims to have half of all Tube stations with step-free access

@simonminty Same happened to me - black cab driver refused to take me as my scooter isn't a "proper wheelchair".
Reported them to @tfl who have responded brilliantly. So glad I took the time to make a report.

[Lisa Jonas @CrippleGirl]

And now I'll retweet this because I was SO proud of what @D_Bellwood, @Elsiebiades & the wider @NationalTheatre team delivered.
It was a glorious thing to behold.
The care & thoughtful prep + gold standard delivery ensured that every blind & VI child had a brilliant experience.

[David Bellwood @D_Bellwood]

Okay - I didn't feel it was quite my place to tweet this myself, but @Elsiebiades @ERStollery and the amazing, amazing team @NationalTheatre pulled off something really remarkable yesterday...

@staticnz @TfLAccess Yes.
On the TFLgo app.

[Lisa Jonas @CrippleGirl]

Another @TfLAccess fail. The TFL GO app told me that Bank Station was step free to the Northern Line. It isn't.
Walked 10 mins to Moorgate where they didn't have enough staff to assist with the ramp.

@staticnz @TfLAccess Hi Callum
The appus broken again. It's telling me Warren St tube is step free. I know it isn't so I'm ignoring it - others may not be so lucky

[Lisa Jonas @CrippleGirl]

@TanviVyas 100% this.
BUT to my amazement my community care team offer an at home weighing service. They are coming on Monday.
First time I'll have been weighed since I stopped being able to stand 6 years ago. I'm beyond excited which is in itself ridiculous.

[Lisa Jonas @CrippleGirl]

#youandyours I'm fed up of hearing that the tube can't be made accessible because it is so old.
They managed to make part of the Jubilee line step free for the Olympics.
It's not age it is lack of interest.

[Lisa Jonas @CrippleGirl]

@hugorifkind These guys will take them and will come and collect https://t.co/abftftawgM

@simonminty @dwarfsportDSAuk @bkmf @IDSF_DwarfSport Looking forward to admiring your medals on your return home.

@AndrewM_Arts @ALittleLifePlay I was unhappy when the casting was announced but wanted to reserve judgement until I saw it.
Sadly that just meant I went from unhappy to furious.
The absence of the disabled storyline felt like abelism to me.

[Lisa Jonas @CrippleGirl]

@Tanni_GT @flowergirl_lon @TfL There are so many lifts out today. Green Park and Finchley Central have been out since Wednesday. I need to use them daily
My alternative route is via Golders Green which is closed this weekend makimg my only option 2 buses and 40 mins longer. It is beyond poor service.

[Lisa Jonas @CrippleGirl]

@SadiqKhan @Sathnam But as a wheelchair user I still can't access the majority of the stations on the Northern Line.
My phone has better access than I do.
Please fix the step free access as a priority @MayorofLondon

[Lisa Jonas @CrippleGirl]

@MykeyLorimer @flowergirl_lon @LordOrk @Doug_Paulley @ScotRail I use a scooter and I can't walk. I used @chilternrailway last weekend without any issue. Stayed on my scooter in the wheelchair space.
