I’ve never flown with them and don’t know how large they are but I’m assuming that they SHOULD be able to assist a person in a wheelchair (as I’m sure most airlines around the World are able to do so

We can certainly look!
How far from the station can you go? What type of food? What are your specific needs?
KeitaI have lived in London for 24 years and been a wheelchair user for 17 of those years and I remember being afraid to travel on the train to Central London (as I live in Teddington, a suburb of London), the first time I went was in 2011 when my younger sister came to visit us in London. We booked a train to get from Teddington to London…

Wow Patty, how amazingly uplifting your post is! Thank you so much for sharing. You are right… London can be an incredibly accessible city if you know where to go and how to navigate your way around. Kudos to your support worker also for showing you the ropes and letting you know what can be done nowadays! I hope you will share more of…

Great to hear your positive perspective, Patty! I lived outside London for about three years and was using a cane at the time (part time wheelchair user now). I relied heavily on lifts at train stations so I was always glad when they took extra care to maintain them in good working order!

Excellent points!
And thank you for the point about the batteries – I guess they are still getting used to scooters… (never been asked in my power wheelchair). I’m glad you made it!

I went to an outdoor Christmas market locally in Boston! Technically accessible but conditions of the ground were pretty bad, so I was happy to stay standing by the end lol… I am always tempted when I see holiday markets in Europe, but when I go outside in the cold I am always reminded that a big cold weather trip would not be a good idea for me!!!
