The standards of service for disabled passengers are also affected by the accommodation. There are a couple of good new rolling-stock trains—the LNER new train is good and there is one on the line I use —but most of the train stock that is under 30 years old is likely to be around for the next 30 years. That is not good or comfortable. One of my bugbears is that you cannot travel as a family in a wheelchair space. There just is not enough room. Heaven help you if you are a couple who both use wheelchairs. You do not sit together; it is just not possible.
