A blind man who fell onto the tracks at Manchester Piccadilly railway station is taking legal action against Network Rail, alleging no tactile paving was in place on a platform's edge, his solicitors have said.
Abdul Eneser, who was walking with a white cane at the time, said he was a minute away from being hit by a high-speed freight train as it passed through. He described it as 'the most traumatic experience I have ever had to face as a visually impaired person'.
Speaking of his ordeal, the 20-year-old has called through his legal team for urgent action to improve provision for disabled people travelling on trains and through railway stations.
