Default Southern doors problem and the CIS as well!!

Well, it really is hard to take seriously someone's argument when they

load it with such abuse, but nevertheless I shall give you the

courtesy

To be honest I find it hard to take seriously all these tin pot
pressure
groups that seem to sprout up like weeds everywhere these days. Now
the disability taliban have managed to it into the rules that all new
train
toilets have to be wheelchair friendly. Great. So now some train
companies
have built trains without any toilets. How exactly has this helped
anyone?
No doubt the rule about PA systems was put in by some other bed wetting
pen pusher at the HSE under pressure from some left wing do gooder.
The amount of money spent on all the extra facilities for the disabled
would
have been far better spent just providing them with taxis as and when
they
needed them.

you seem disinclined to extend to others. The systems of the train are


there for everyone's benefit. If any system which has been specified

Thats a myth. Public transport is there for the benefit of the
majority. Some
people simply can't use it , eg , people in remote villages,
quadraplegics etc.
Unfortunate tho this may be , ultimately its just tough luck and if
public
transport had to deal with every whinger with a special travel
requirement it
would grind to a halt pdq and no one would be able to use it. Life
isn't fair. Deal.
