Only disabled by the environment!
Absolutely, Ann. I still think this is one of the highest impact safety campaigns I can recall. Would we be so graphic today? Probably not, but I think we should. This was incredibly effective about action and consequence. RT is you agree!
That’s why they put yellow lines on platforms? Door opening widths, saw lots falls but we didn’t take photos then.

8 in 10 disabled people feel politicians are out of touch. @Scope’s election manifesto sets out what the next government must do about the issues disabled people say matter most. Call on your MP to prioritise disabled people this election ♿ campaigns.scope.org.uk/page/147682/ac…

David absolutely nails it here. Retweet it like there's no tomorrow - which, for many ticket offices, there may not be.
