Back on topic .......

You know when you post a joke on here and it gets a few measly rep comments and likes - but then someone else posts exactly the same joke and does brilliantly?

Now you know how Theresa May feels.

The deadline of 1 January 2020 to make all trains accessible for disabled people has been ripped up in what has been branded the first “broken promise” since Boris Johnson’s election win.
Around 1,200 carriages – many of them on notorious northern routes, already dogged by delays and cancellations – will continue running into the next decade, The Independent can reveal.

The tally is one in every 11 in the fleet and 50 per cent higher than the number that rail companies had asked for permission to keep in operation, despite having had a full decade to prepare.
Some cannot accommodate wheelchairs, while others lack audio-visual information systems, easy to use handholds and handrails, or an accessible toilet – if toilets are fitted at all.

The move was sharply criticised by campaigners for better transport and for people with disabilities as a bitter new year pill for passengers to swallow.

Tanni Grey-Thompson, the multi gold medal-winning Paralympian, said: “I’m hugely disappointed. The rail industry has to urgently address what it is going to do to allow accessible transport and be transparent with its plans.

First off holy mackerel that is one comprehensive list with supporting links!

Here are the ones that are the most upsetting for me: cutting benefits to so many people who are now marginalized; claiming that workers rights are under threat;. Saying that there will be no more Scottish referendum;. Not having enough train cars equipped for people who need assistance.

Trains are too expensive anyway what they should do is have a better bus system and each and every bus should be equipped for people who need assistance

Equally despicable is the plan to roll back the number of nurses for the health system

Interesting how Beanz ignores that of the numbers he cites the majority actually have had payments increased or kept the same.
