TSSA Comment on disabled passenger locked in Oxenholme railway station.

Maryam Eslamdoust, General Secretary of TSSA, has issued a strong statement condemning recent failings in accessibility for disabled passengers on Avanti trains. 

"This is not acceptable," said Maryam Eslamdoust. "Disabled passengers should not have to suffer any indignity when travelling on our railways. It is essential that Avanti managers implement comprehensive accessibility plans so that disabled passengers are never treated as an afterthought."

TSSA calls on Avanti to prioritise inclusive service, ensuring that all passengers can travel with dignity and respect.
