Part of the amendment also looks at mobility aids. They have changed significantly over the years. A lot more people are using scooters rather than manual or electric chairs. We have to think about the current space that is available on trains and the space around companion seats. The DfT is doing some great and interesting work on accessible micromobility. We also have to think about how we can future-proof some of the decisions that we are making now, because far more people are using devices such as the battery pack attachment I use outside the building to be able to get around. Technically, it is not a scooter, but I know a number of people who have been stopped from getting on a train because they have been told it is scooter. It is ridiculous that the ATP is not being universally applied.
