Trains are such a stressful experience using a wheelchair. I've been forgotten twice and ended up way further than intended. I had to call them helpline to get me out but they still ask a million questions before calling the station you need. I've also had an occasion where the train terminated too early because of a person jumping. And then I was stuck sitting on a train whilst a bus replacement service got everyone else away. Of course the bus was a coach so not wheelchair accessible. I had to wait 2 hours for the only wheelchair accessible taxi in the area! Good for you travelling solo, I couldn't do it!!
That thing in the cupboard is amazing to pull down I need one I had to get train the other day in my wheelchair was so stressful think I missed about 2 trains so sorry for your loss Amy good luck on your trip to London today love your vids so much ❤❤❤
I hope some day the UK will adapt the same system of Ireland where the assistance will stay on the train with you too your destination so you will never be left on a train or left waiting
Well done for managing, the first time doing something on your own is always the worst. You know what to expect now for next time. For future reference the national rail website live departure board is really handy for telling you which platform a train is going through at a station & you can also live track trains to see if they are ahead/behind schedule, what stops they have. Do you have a USB power bank to charge your phone from? If not get one for your bag so you are never looking for a charging point ❤️
You remind me of my friend she has complex Ehlers danlos syndrome ~ dystonia Fibromyalgia CPRP and POTs and she was diagnosed with FPD like you. She has so many struggles with her whole body and hers started up in her teens. Her legs turned to jelly and it couldn’t be explained for years. My friend does suffer with dislocations aswell..
Please share your experiences with train companies so that they can improve the service. As the train network barely works for disabled and it’s an appalling in 2024 it’s like this. When trains are delayed or charge that’s when the assistant fails.
O my goodness i remember when I went to visit my cousin in a different state. Mind you i live in a city im used to public transportation....but my cousin lived in Washington DC. Which is HUGE compared to Pittsburgh Pa. So not only did i need to switch busses in the middle of my trip but when i got there i had to take a train to her part of town. I got completely lost! I missed 2 trains! I was a mess...but i made it eventually. Traveling can be exciting and fun but also stressful! But you made it in one piece you should feel very accomplished! Sorry for the reason for your trip...but you know you can do it now and that is amazing. ×Side note× Do you have P.O. Box or somewhere you can get mail if I wanted to send you a little like house warming gift?
Bob is a gem for taking u the station ❤
So so sorry for your you and your families loss, sending massive hugs xxx

That sounds like the most practical idea yet 😀

I have EDs too, most painful thing ever
I always leave at leaderboard 30 minutes between trains so less risk of missing connections
You are the best❤❤
I’ve just downloaded the app how much in advance do you need to book the assistance?
I love you Amy ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
