@timrichards Feedback on train-travel with wheelchair using son-in-law in UK:
Local trains in NW Preston to Windemere AMAZING. Wchair markings on platform to show where to wait. Space for wchair in carriage. Guard on-hand every station to help with a ramp. 10/10
Local train London to Brighton and London to Stansted Airport: none of the above. Just had to run with wchair and get on where we could.
Luggage racks on UK trains WAY too small to fold up his chair so we had to leave it open and he sat in it in door space. He is able to step onto train with us helping. If hed been fully wchair user, he wouldve had terrible trouble.

It's a not tilt train. Couple of diesel stinkers at Roma Street. Not sure where they're off to but it'll be at least a thousand kilometres. #RailJourney #trains #Brisbane

But then you get several hours of just running along the coast. It's the #PacificSurfliner experience; bluffs, views, a little bit of speed, and the California coast just zipping by. #RailJourney
