Accessibility Of Connex South Centrals Trains

EDM number 777 in 1998-99, proposed by Anne Begg on 30/06/1999.

That this House condemns Connex South Central for continuing to run passenger trains between Gatwick and Victoria which mean that wheelchair-using passengers are forced to travel in the luggage van, which is not only an affront to all disabled people but must also give a very bad impression to international disabled travellers whose first experience of British attitudes is the journey from Gatwick Airport to London; and calls on Connex South Central to upgrade its rolling stock and bring this barbaric practice to an end before the arrival of the new millennium.

This motion has been signed by a total of 36 MPs.
