im sorry i cant help you about getting about or interesting places to visit,t []he reason i am replying is-disabled people in britain are treated like second class citizens,my mother doesnt use the train but she used to use the manchester metrolink..regularly on her small mobility scooter,since the new smaller trams were introduced they have been banned,many disabled people use these scooters and its a disgrace that all modes of public transport in this day and age dont/or cant accomodate them,at least in the old days you could travel in the guards van[not ideal i know but better than not being able to board at all]i now have to take my mother in the wheelchair,thus taking away her independance,and an uncomfortable ride,its a good job my mother doesnt use the train though,as a 142-our usual trains,cant accomodate the many passengers who use them,let alone disabled ones,let us know how you get on with your travels.
