“You can’t use the escalator with your dog.”

Fine.

What happens when the lift is broken?

For some guide dog users, that means carrying a 30kg Labrador through a station.

That isn’t accessible transport.

E-scooters and e-bikes left on pavements are forcing blind people into the road.
This isn’t just inconvenient — it’s dangerous.

Public space must be safe for everyone — not just convenient for some.
