This shows how accessibility improves access for *everyone*. Moveable armrests help for when your tray table is down, no gap means it's safer for everyone (and with baggage), etc. I can't understand why accessibility is such an after thought in the UK 😭

Japan is the worst country of the developed nations I’ve been to for accessibility. Most daily trains don’t even have an elevator. Please don’t paint Japan as some accessible wonderland. The US and UK both have better accessibility.

ramp might be for power chairs, they have a bit more trouble with gaps/bumps than manual

Did you book Shinkansen tickets in advance or buy them on the day?!

Probably will take another 20-30 years until some think tank will take this on in the U.K.

Oh yeah btw not all Shinkansen platforms are like this. The gap can be huge for other stations. I’m a wheelchair user

Just goes to show if they wanted to they would. I really think the UK is trying us best to keep us in doors
