Nua-#CelticSoulJourney in #Ireland: `The lovely #Tuag had caught the eye of the god of the sea, #Manannán Mac Lir.
Funny how @ScotRail strictly enforces the 30s door rule but ramps/staff are 'optional.' Imagine if everyone had to call 24hrs ahead just to have their door unlocked? It would be viewed as insane. For us, that’s reality. No staff = locked door. #AccessDenied #TUAG #TurnUpAndGo
🕢 Train doors can close 30 seconds before departure – please allow plenty of time to board.
😊 Please wait for other passengers to alight before you board.
🙋♂️ For assistance getting on or off the train, speak to our staff, who will be pleased to help.
@yenomltd Because the trains run every few minutes. Because it might take me slightly longer to get to the station, wait for the lift etc. And because #TUAG (turn up and go) is a legal right. I book for longer journeys, but not for local ones.
. @SW_Help How are wheelchair users supposed to find the guard for assistance at unstaffed stations, for a regular 15 mins journey via #TUAG. With 4 types of trains currently in use, guard could be almost anywhere. #DisabledByTheRailway
#MythologyMonday: `#Manannán the Sea-God sent #Ferdia to steal princess #Tuag away from Tara. Ferdia disguised himself as a woman, and sang a sleeping spell over her, and thus managed to escape with her.
The #druid carried her to the mouth of the River

#MythologyMonday: `The lovely #Tuag had caught the eye of the god of the sea, #Manannán Mac Lir. As his emissary his bard Fer Í disguised himself a woman and crept into the chambers of #Tuag, where the dwarf sang a lullaby so potent that she fell into a dreamless sleep.

New universal station signage/fonts, PIDs, data for apps, next gen myki 2024/25, new fleet for craig/Upf/Franga 25/26, more than 1/2 the city's LXs removed + loads of upgraded track, metro tunnel 2025... everything's building to something. Can we pls have service plans now? #TUAG

@driver_steph @Tanni_GT @LordOrk @Doug_Paulley @networkrail @UniStrathclyde project with @GlasgowSubway on 13 stations so that their new trains (with 2 wheelchair spaces can be used from more than the 2 stations with lift access to platforms
Once we can proove this as a workable solution it could save £millions on building lifts?
A pragmatic #TUAG?
@ScotRail But @ScotRail don’t want to support #DisabilityPrideMonth? We can’t just turn up and go #TUAG with a wheelchair can we?
No, we’ve to arrange in advance (even if it’s a trip we take daily) & we’ve2pray2the powers that be that the person in charge of helping us isn’t ill that day.
I was able to be an hour early for train I had booked on got told in all of Leeds station there was not a member of staff who could put ramp down so I had to fight for the right to TUAG @networkrail @Tanni_GT @LordOrk @annalandre @sophmorgTV @SpeedySticks007 #equality #TUAG
Travel goals? Used #TUAG at Waterloo and was referred to as one of their regulars!! Given I only travel in a few times a month I’m surprised I’m a regular. Then I remind myself of how inaccessible it can be and I realise why!! #DisabledByTheRailway
Finally the proof everyone's been waiting for! The transport system & TfL have no clue re *accessibility* - Northern Line shut all week Golders Green-Edgware. How can Hendon Central station NOT have step free access? #LondonUnderground #DisabilityAccess #LevelBoarding #TUAG
I fear that when staff leave jobs (retirement, etc) in ticket offices, they won't be replaced! Battle won, not the war on staffing and safety. #TUAG #LegalRight #PeopleDisabledByTheRailway
Disabled campaigners celebrate ‘bittersweet’ ticket office victory

Coming home late on train on my own today. (23:40). Decided to book assistance as I’m travelling alone. Got to London Waterloo, no staff, no passenger assistance. As always saved by the guard (who is lovely) but blooming heck how do we find staff? #TUAG #DisabledByTheRailway
Using #TUAG #TurnUpAndGo and they’ve changed staff at the station I use. Person was really resentful getting the ramp out for two wheelchair users! Thankfully nicest guard who is now helping us off as not called stations ahead! @SW_Help #DisabledByTheRailway
#TUAG Train Offices. This cartoon is from Private Eye, where a ticket machine is out of order and a woman is trying to buy a ticket.
Disabled passengers facing multiple barriers to independence on our railways. #TUAG dead. #TicketOffices & conductors on trains under threat. Now station mobiles under threat. Reliance on Apps, not reality. Ministers keep telling me changes will help. Give me strength.
I just tried to do TUAG at Arlesey.
@GNRailUK ignored my text again
The most dysfunctional call ever via Text Relay. No promise of assistance.
Stepped footbridge. No way to get to the correct platform, no signs what to do, and no call point.
No assistance turned up.
Abandoned.
