OK, lifts often break down, but they get a lot of wear and tear!<br /><br />He is, indeed, looking for something to complain about. Why not ask actual passengers, instead of those who self-select, looking to make a fuss?JuliaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07844126589712842477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-77638219836424226862015-05-15T12:50:41.307+01:002015-05-15T12:50:41.307+01:00What a load of whining bollocks from this Transpor...What a load of whining bollocks from this Transport for All wallah. I have travelled through East Ham station on a regular basis, including accompanying a person with limited mobility and other issues. The station has an almost perfect system of access from street to platform level, the signage is legible, there are easily accessible wheelchair gates and there is a choice of ticket machines some of which are standalone rather than being part of a bank of ticket machines.<br /><br />With the increased number of platform and concourse staff that will be the outcome of closing the ticket offices the issue of the 'small font' on some ticket machines will really not be an issue at all.<br /><br />Methinks that this whiner is looking for something to whine about.<br /><br />As I know East Ham station quite well, I'd say that the main problem for a vulnerable disabled person using this station is not the 'small font' or other access issues but the plethora of mostly imported two-legged rats which infest Newham and who see a person with difficulties not as someone to be helped but as prey.

All of the time I'm stressed. These poor fking seagulls having to eat dog instead of pussy. I feel their pain, I really do.andy5759noreply@blogger.com
