Description
Time to take a trip on the railways, but this time - from the perspective of someone with a disability. I went and met Dominic Lund-Conlon, who is the Accessibility and Inclusion Manager for Rail Delivery Group, and we took a trip on Greater Anglia from Chelmsford to Sudbury and return, and talk all about accesssible travel!

Dominic booked his assistance by calling his train operator – you can book assistance with ANY operator for ANY journey, even if they have nothing to do with the journey itself (so for example you can call LNER for a journey from Exeter to Paddington). All of the contact details are at: https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/stations_destinations/disabled_passengers.aspx.

The brilliant 'toilet map' is actually the marvellous National Rail Accessibility Map : https://accessmap.nationalrail.co.uk
