@WestMidRailway It’s not the assistance team’s fault, it’s the lack of carriages on a rush hour train service. This has been an issue in this train for a long time now
@WestMidRailway I’m a wheelchair user who booked assistance for the 7.55 from Cradley Heath to Snow Hill, only 3 carriages turned up and the guard refused to help me get on the train. They made me wait for the next one and now I’m late for work.
@WestMidRailway I managed to get the 8.07 with help from 2 passengers insisting the guard help me on the train. It feels like disabled people don’t matter. A rush hour train to Birmingham should have more than 3 carriages, and that is normal for that service (sometimes it’s only 2)
@WestMidRailway Hi Leah, this service is a prime commuter train and it is only normally 3 carriages. That’s not enough for the time this train is leaving Snow Hill. This experience has left me feeling like a burden and that I have no right travelling on that train.
@WestMidRailway - it’s hard enough being disabled using a wheelchair, but when the 17:31 from Snow Hill to Cradley Heath has only 2 carriages it makes getting home almost impossible. People didn’t want to move to let me on or off the train (and I had booked assistance)
Three carriages on the 7.55 and two carriages on the 8.07 from Cradley Heath - I missed getting in to work on time because I couldn’t get on the first train because it was so packed and struggled to get the second one. Not good enough @WestMidlandRail
@IanHigton@LilChopShopGal Looking forward to it! BTW, I’ve finished making you a couple of crochet gifts, and I’ll send them to the PO Box when it’s active. I really hope you like them. I was hoping to give you them in person but I can’t make it to EGX 😔 I’m Stitch Rocks 😊
@IanHigton I watch your streams and want to make you something as a thank you for the content (obvs sending to EG HQ). I struggle with anxiety and depression and your streams really help me 😊 would this be ok?
@IanHigton Thank you! I crochet, and I love making things for people. Do you have any horror or games characters that you would like me to make for you? 😊
@RobLMyers@fia I don’t think Check said anything wrong. Why didn’t they investigate Max’s radio after he got a penalty and said “send them my regards”?
