When they say that if a third wheelchair user tries to travel the disabled buggy user will be turned off as on booking there is no ability to define which mode of wheelchair or buggy use and only 2 can book

Lots of inconsistencies being quoted and when costed it works out so much cheaper to use my Motability car and disabled parking permits to visit places Not using station car parks as now EMT my local TOC charges £9 a day to park in a disabled space where as 200m away the local council charge £4 a day.

So far the only rail journey I'm actually looking at is London and maybe using a taxi to get around the city
car parking free at northern station if you travel by trainhave you considered cummunity buses like dail a ride they take wheelchairs etc
