.@Keir_Starmer the Bus Services (No 2) Bill will simply not work for blind people as it reads now. The bus has to be able to pull up to the kerb to allow passengers to board and alight directly to and from the pavement, without having to step into or over a cycle lane first.

Designing bus stops around the needs of cyclists is so so stupid. The SoS Transport will whip Labour MPs to support it next week. @Meg_HillierMP @FeryalClark @lukeakehurst @steveracemp @danfrancis02 @MarshadeCordova

Here’s what blind people told @RNIB when asked about floating bus stops: “I have been knocked down…”; “Floating bus stops are a complete nightmare…”; “I cannot express enough how angry and frustrated I feel about bus stop bypasses…”; “I no longer visit parts of the city…”

After yesterday’s 15 hour Berwick shoot with 4x cameras & 8x lenses weighing a small hippo I’m suffering a tad this morning. Burned beetroot, dehydrated, aching all o’er & totally knackered. And so the lengthy drudgery of editing begins. Here’s the RBB at dawn with a 24mm.

.@MayorofLondon this is simply not good enough - excluding blind people through designs that discriminate needs to be halted. @Keir_Starmer this scheme is going ahead with designs that blind people will not be able to use. It needs to be halted and redesigned please. Please help.

The @MayorofLondon is removing a key bus lane in Shoreditch and in the consultation it doesn’t get a mention. What a way to treat London’s most important transport mode and passengers. This is fraudulent.

The @MayorofLondon says that floating bus stops that comply with @TfL guidance are usable by blind people. This despite having warning messages on the bus urging passengers to cross the cycle track with caution! How can blind people be cautious? They can’t see or hear the cycles!
