Non: Train Strike

[dsr-burnley]

Our local station doesn’t have any staff when a train arrives in from London and some people have difficulties when getting off the train, wheelchair users for one.

I saw the guard get off and put a ramp down or something to help them.

If there was no guard what happens then? Does the driver get out?

On the underground trains the step out to the platform is very low or ground level from memory.

I was replying to a specific post about whether a driver can safely shut the doors without a guard signalling.

Fair enough, thanks.

Precisely why trains should have level access. Turn up and go, just like quite a few stations on the underground.
