"... think about a time when dates like this become a historical artefact because we are part of a society that embraces, supports and includes every individual within it."

What would help achieve this for you? For me it's hoists in all buildings!

[Cath_Pathfinders @CathPathfinders]

@josieverg @tanvivyas Yes - I've used this, back in the day I used to carry a photocopied section from the manual (my dad was a conductor) as a good percentage of conductors had never heard of it! A cheap day return is often better value though as it can only be appiled to standard tickets I believe.
