It’s a 30 min journey so should be able to TUAG easily but I booked the day before & very glad I did because without advance booking I wouldn’t have been on that train as platform wouldn’t have changed to have correct ramps. 🤷♀️ The solution =#LevelBoarding
It’s not hard if you think #levelboarding
The one good thing about flying into Stansted is I get to travel on the level boarding Stansted Express @ImtacNI @deptinfra
We don't need more 'innovation ' - we need uptake of existing things that grow passenger usage because it gives them a better experience e.g #levelboarding !
Rail industry news 📢
As part of @innovateuk's First of a Kind competition, @transportgovuk has made £5m in funding available to innovative projects that will help to deliver better services for passengers and encourage more people to take the train 🚄 https://t.co/D9m911f3oX
#levelboarding also speeds up and makes safer boarding and getting off for all passengers!
Passenger experience put first in multimillion pound competition driving rail innovation
@LevelBoarding meaning passengers who need assistance can board unaided is key issue that mean disabled people need assistance to get from street to seat

Btw - if anyone comes here to moan about platform works being required to provide #LevelBoarding with a low floor fleet you’re just gonna be muted.
Yes, I know. Yes it’ll cost. It’ll bring infra in line with the standard and have a lasting benefit so whatever…
I can’t see any info on the press release about #LevelBoarding
I don’t think a tender document is worth the paper it’s written on unless this is a built requirement.

New trains for @northernassist: The operator has invited Alstom, CAF, Hitachi, Siemens & Stadler to bid for the first phase of its new trains programme, which will see its 150s, 155s &156s replaced. A contract will be awarded next year with the first new trains in service by 2030
@LordOrk @Gibson_U_Witch @northernassist @My_Metro @Heidi_Labour @alexhornbyrail @railandroad @CPT_UK @RailDeliveryGrp @AlexHynes Always enjoyed dealing with AH for pragmatic & practical solutions-but this has been experience with almost every @ScotRail MD over many decades (Green,Bleasdale ...)
Plus the new electrics as well
We're hopeful for DMU (hybrid) replacements #LevelBoarding for most places
@philatrail C'mon @Heidi_Labour - Now would be a great time to tack on an order of 8-car bi-modes for CrossCountry. Would be ready just in time for them to be nationalised and govt to get the credit!
Would be great if all these new trains had a mechanism to allow #LevelBoarding though.
@Tanni_GT Just as well that when HS2 comes into service we won't have any of this nonsense since it'll have #levelboarding everywhere......
.....apart from at all the 'classic' stations where it will still need a manually deployed ramp... :-(
@WestMidRailway @AlexHynes They really are if you are a wheelchair user who really can’t believe that a company would choose not to have #LevelBoarding .
A known issue with the upcoming station at Old Oak Common is that trains on the Elizabeth line may not have level boarding.
Today, we take a look at the origins of the situation and the implications.

@AlexHynes @WestMidRailway If only they had #LevelBoarding.
Baking in inaccessibility for 30 years not a good move.
@LordOrk @LevelBoarding @LouHaigh Got off #GatwickExpress at #Hove from #Brighton 23:40 last night #Tuesday 24.09.24 & the drop was higher than it should be. There is more to #MindTheGap #Widthways why do they not say #MindTheDrop on the #Announcement #SeeItSayItSortIt @SouthernRailUK #LevelBoarding #LevelAccess
Hearing that Alstom has put forward a level boarding train proposal with its new Adessia type for train operator SouthEastern which is looking for new stock to replace Networker EMUs. Adessia is Alstom’s next generation commuter train. #levelboarding
@JoshuaR35073488 You can’t 100% fill but it’s enough for #LevelBoarding
I’ll take a small slope on an aisle versus a 20-30cm step from the train to the platform where people:
a) been abandoned on trains because they can’t get off (Tanni Grey-Thompson)
b) risk injuries like Ealing Broadway
#LevelBoarding has been a notable topic this week.
With Sunday engineering works & diversions via Seven Sisters, some Stansted Express services are stopping at Cheshunt. Here a Class 745 shows the gap fillers that provide that #LevelBoarding
This should be the standard
to do with providing #LevelBoarding as provided by #Stadler
I leave you with a couple more of the wonderful FLIRTs & an example of what other fleets don’t give you i.e. a step!
If the HST replacement in Scotland is a brand new fleet then it must, in my view, have #levelboarding.
Today @FionaHyslop announces that procurement will begin to replace @ScotRail High Speed Intercity Trains.
This will:
🔹 improve comfort and accessibility
🔹 ensure reliability
🔹 reduce emissions

@Clinnick1 @railandroad @GCRail If the government is being smart here, they could show that they've listened to @Tanni_GT and many others' concerns and only grant the track access application on the condition that the new trains have #LevelBoarding
