WATCH: One of the big issues between the train drivers union and the train owners and operators is one-person operation, which is also of considerable concern to disabled people and wheelchair users.
But some newer generation trains, like the Stadler class 755 units working for Greater Angla, have platform-level interior floors and built-in powered ramps, so wheelchair passengers can board and disambark without problems.
Of course, other lines and trains operated elsewhere may not have similar facilities, and disabled passengers may be effectively discriminated against by the reduction in staffing levels.
