Here is the detail of the formal complaint I have lodged at the
Disability Rights Commission about Mr. Edwards: may I suggest others
who see the idiocy of his comments do likewise?


Don't bother. I contacted the DRC about a policy change which was not
widely
known but would have a negative impact on the mobility of wheelchair
users... I was told that since I was not disabled myself, they had no
interest in anything I had to say!



What a load of RUBBISH!

Able-bodied people have plenty of valid comments to make if they act as
wheelchair-pushers, companions, drivers or rail staff with/of disabled
people. This speaks of chipped-shoulder discrimination which makes me
HATE some radical disabled groups.

Not all disabilities are equal, not all disabled people are equal, not
all are wheelchair users. For some people with disabilities, a
Routemaster is wonderful as there is a good chance that a seat will be
available and there's a conductor to help. Finding a seat on a
buggy-cluttered low-floor bus isn't always easy...

We will be in London in October and will be definitely travelling on one of
the heritage routes.
It is a great tourist experience, and is essentially "London" from a
foreigners point of view.
