Available for over a year

A wheelchair user is calling for "better training" after railway station staff questioned her request for a ramp. Disability activist Marie Blackett, from Ipswich, said she felt "humiliated" at Peterborough station. She said station staff argued over her request to have a ramp fixed to the train, leaving her "embarrassed". London North Eastern Railways (LNER) which runs the station said it took staff training "very seriously". Marie told Zoe O'brien how she felt.
