Warning tactile at Earlsfield and Wandsworth Common Stations'

​It is so important that those living with sight loss in our community are supported when using public transport. 

That is why I recently wrote to South Western Rail and Southern Rail to enquire as to when warning tactile - a vital safety and accessibility tool for those travelling by train - will be installed at Earlsfield and Wandsworth Stations.

I am happy to say that Southern Rail have now confirmed that warning tactile has been installed on surface platforms at Wandsworth Common Station. And, although tactile is yet to be installed at Earlsfield Station, South West Railway have stated that Network Rail is working hard to deliver these accessibility improvements.

Rest assured I will continue to press for accessibility for local residents living with sight loss.
