The government have announced sweeping changes to the rail system in the UK, I was wondering what people thought about this news? I would link the article but not that tech savvy
Part of the proposal is an accessibility audit which I see as a good thing, however, until more spaces for wheelchair users are made available on trains I cant see myself using them any more than I already do which is rarely as I am car driver which is much easier and convenient.

Here's a BBC article about this topic, for those who didn't catch it, and here's another BBC article that explains what impact the changes might have, briefly mentioning the accessibility audit.
Do you have any other suggestions on how rail travel could become more accessible for disabled people @Garza?0 -
Thank you @Tori_Scope this is the article I had read, for me the most helpful way to make trains more accessible would be to provide more than one space for a wheelchair user on each train, not much point having level access stations if only one person in a wheelchair can use standard class at at a timeTori_Scope said:Here's a BBC article about this topic, for those who didn't catch it, and here's another BBC article that explains what impact the changes might have, briefly mentioning the accessibility audit.
