No search for brownie points.
Just pointing out to you that disabled people travel all over the London
transport network - Tube, rail, bus, DLR, taxis every day.
Whether you like it or not, whether or not you personally have seen them,
and whether or not your oh-so-important journey to work means you
wouldn't give them a bit of room at the rush hour.

It wouldn't be a case of whether I would , but whether I could. Have
you ever travelled on the tube in the rush hour? For someone in a
wheelchair to get on a packed rush hour train probably about 2 or 3 or
even 4 people would have to get off to make enough room. I can't
really see that happening can you/

I heard on the Internet that the rush hour Tubes in London are too
packed with wheelchairs for you to get on.


(And why the hell should I justify myself to you? I've travelled to work
in London via Tube, rail, bus, bike and river boat).
