MemberI just discovered this YouTube video this morning which shows the accessibility on the Metro service in my hometown: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5io392p6l0&t=339s
I had no idea that you can actually have a member of staff accompany you on your journey to ensure that the ramp is available at your destination. This video also made me feel…

Great to see this and thanks for sharing. It reflects the difference that a service adjustment can make for people who may need assistance which could be all of us at any time. Such an initiative does so much, it gives confidence and enables people, as well as empowering them to be able to travel independently or with friends and family.

Less noise will benefit us all, I think. I have seen airports remove audio announcements and rely on screens more. I have seen grocery stores run “quiet hours” for a couple of hours a day where they turn off all music and loud speakers too.

The 5 tips they include are quite helpful. We definitely take on board most of those points when we are traveling with our daughter – especially the bit about giving ourselves more time. We also pack a lot of toys and items that we know she loves, so she can immerse herself in moments of downtime or if she’s becoming a bit too…
Have you been to Milan? How would you rate the accessibility there? What’s good to see and what’s best to avoid?
This video from @daniellevates is hilarious

Eleven-time Paralympic gold medallist has to 'crawl off' train in London

To be honest I am not surprised. While I did not yet use a wheelchair when I lived in the UK, I noticed disabled assistance seemed to depend more on how efficient the staff at the station were and in some cases it was very spotty. It really should not be a struggle.
