Want to make sure disabled people's freedom to travel is built into the foundations of new services like the West London Orbital?

Let Transport for London know what makes train travel accessible for you by 18 November.

A new London Overground route is being proposed – the West London Orbital 🟠 🚆

Got thoughts? Have your say through TfL’s open consultation by Wednesday 18 November

See the proposals and respond here 🔗 https://haveyoursay.tfl.gov.uk/west-london-orbital
An informational map diagram published by Transport for London and the Mayor of London in September 2026, showing the proposed route for the West London Orbital rail service. The route is a vertical line with station markers. From the north, the line starts at Hendon and Brent Cross West, both offering National Rail connections to Luton. It goes south to Neasden (new station, Jubilee line link) and Harlesden (new station, Lioness and Bakerloo line links).It reaches Old Oak Common Lane, a new station with major interchanges to Heathrow Express, HS2, the Central line, and the Elizabeth line. Continuing south, it stops at Acton Central and South Acton (both linking to the Mildmay line), followed by Lionel Road (new station, Kew Bridge link). The southern section goes through National Rail stations at Brentford, Syon Lane, and Isleworth, ending at Hounslow. Official TfL, Overground, and Mayor of London logos sit at the bottom.

It's great to hear the new trains on TransPennine Express will deliver independent boarding for more passengers.

We need step-free access to the platform and level boarding everywhere so disabled passengers can travel with ease and confidence, instead of having to wait for Passenger Assistance.

Everyone wants to feel valued and respected by the people around them, but Disabled people are facing hostility.

Disabled leader Mik Scarlet has been sharing what needs to change, to make a society where we're all included and valued for who we are.

Being a trustee isn’t just about what you bring. It’s about being part of something you care about.

Our trustees help Transport for All stay rooted in disabled people’s experiences and focused on breaking down the barriers to our freedom to travel.

Public transport should give us all the freedom to get where we need to go, when we need to. Removing time restrictions on disabled people’s bus passes is progress, but the pass only works if the whole journey works.

This month we’ll be looking at what's still to do on our long list!

#CTBM26
To do list with checkboxes. 1. Remove time restrictions on disabled people's bus passes. 2. Consistent rules on bus pass eligibility and companion passes across the country. 3. More wheelchair priority spaces and seating so we can travel with friends and family. 4. Passengers clearing the priority spaces when disabled people need them to travel. 5. Accurate and up to date travel information in accessible formats. The first item has a green tick. The list runs off the page.

We all need the freedom to travel without worrying that transport will fail us. It means we can say “yes” to life.

For many disabled people in the UK, that’s not our reality. Transport for All exists to break down barriers so we can all make the journeys we want. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4rZowmd

A purple textured background with yellow arrows. Bold black text in a yellow frame says: 'Disabled people' means anyone who is shut out of making journeys others take for granted. That's a society problem, not an us problem.

Thank you for being a tireless advocate on this issue @tomgordonld.bsky.social !!

This is such great news, but we're sad we won't be getting a photo op with your cut out at Parliament 📸

🥳 WE DID IT! 👏

🚌 My fantastic team ordered these giant cut-out frames for our parliamentary drop-in campaigning to scrap disabled bus pass time restrictions - and now it’s happening.

⏰ Disabilities don’t start at 9am, neither should disabled bus passes - and soon, they won’t!

Breaking news! The Government has announced that from April 2027, disabled people across England will be able to use our bus passes 24 hours a day.

We've been campaigning with others to lift time restrictions for a while now, and are proud to be part of that movement for change.

A graphic with a red background and bold black text on yellow rectangles. The text reads: Why is this good news? We are disabled 24 hours a day.

Three people sitting outside by a mural. The first is a wheelchair user with white skin and short brown hair, wearing a green top and dungarees. The next is a woman with light brown skin, wearing a grey cardigan, patterned top and leggings. She is next to a woman with long blond hair and pale skin, wearing a bright patterned dress and holding the lead of her guide dog, a golden retriever. They are talking and laughing.
