DONT STOP ME NOW
Hello
I would like to THANK (again) the driver, of a bus at Haverfordwest Train Station, yesterday, (14/7)@ appox 4.45 pm. I suppose he was waiting for passengers from a train that arrived. I am in a wheelchair and my partner asked him how the Ramp (on the bus) worked?
He was very polite, and deployed the ramp and lowered the bus, he then asked me "if I would Like to try it out" I did so and was totally amazed at how easy it is for a "wheelie".
He also explained the bus routes and gave us some timetables.
I look foward to travelling with this company with ease.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CONFUSED
I am totally confused !!!!!!!
Yesterday I went to Whitland and Haverfordwest, Train Stations, To see if They were accessible. Both Stations were Ok (for me in an active manual "wheelie".
Today, I rang (the assistance ) helpline. I was told that tickets for my journey using these stations was "not possible" as they are not easy access and unmaned.
I told them that I had already been and it was OK. Plus at Whitland station, a while ago, there was a "big" thing about "the opening of a "NEW £40,000 wheelchair access" to the platform. (it was in the papers).
The person on the phone spoke to their manager, who told him to tell me to ring back on Monday, and he will get information from each station .. as the records they have are a few years old!!!!
DONT FORGET.. I HAVE ALREADY BEEN TO " CHECK OUT" if I can manage on my own without assistance (except into the carriage)
My journey is Tuesday to Friday, so not much time to sort things out, and plus Friday (I am told) there is a rail strike !!!!!
