London Southend Airport and Environs Joint Area Action Plan Preferred Options
Representation ID: 14259
Received: 02/06/2009
Respondent: Disability Essex
Representation Summary:
P10. The new railway station is an opportunity to design for complete accessibility and inclusion. Access from one platform to the other via a tunnel, with lifts, would enhance accessibility for frail and disabled passengers. Pre-planned boarding points for interface between carriage and mobility scooters and wheelchairs, would obviate the need for pre-booked station assistance and encourage disabled passengers to travel to and from the airport by rail, at any time.
