Access for the Disabled?

Never mentioned in political Manifestos?

Even within the European Union and many other nations around the globe, governments continue to drag their feet in relation to implementing laws that would force public transport and buildings such as places of worship to make provision for wheelchair access, better lighting and physical help when needed?

Cost is perhaps one aspect of failing to do this, yet many in office and management have no problems receiving astronomical hikes in their annual wage packets along with many other lucrative perks?

Despite much protest in the U.K over the years, some famous politicians have been in the habit to block bills that come forward in relation to this access and one believes that big business should take the lead and bring to shame the lies of many of our two-faced politicians! 

Because it is looking like if one is disabled, short-sighted, blind we are being left behind like a sub-human species?

Rails. Part-One.

Speed and Modernisation?

What is delaying much advancement in railways is outdated signalling, rotting wooden sleepers and old stock management! 

These are some of the facts that are stopping modernisation in the U.K., but its far worse in some places both near and far?

Train development has raced ahead, without considering other key factors that might need to be changed first? Privatisation has much to play in patching up the networks, because governments want to give us a false image of their failures in properly financing the lines infrastructure!

Many promises get left unfulfilled over the years and left to others to deal with or cancel! But where there is serious changes the problems are that they are too late and overcrowding or empty stock remain a problem that causes much more friction!

What is needed is commitment and vision that will be backed up with huge amounts of money and interested parties to keep investing? Consideration for the disabled and getting on with gradual adaptions to meet the needs of wheel chair access, and much more for the blind, not talking and never doing?
