A disabled commuter claims he has been 'forced to sit on the floor' and endure panic attacks on board jam-packed Avanti West Coast services.
Mental health activist John Junior, 34, who has arthritis and has metal bolts in his knees, uses the Wilmslow to Manchester service several times a week but says typical journeys will be ‘rammed’, with passengers ‘sandwiched in’. He uses a walking stick and carries a blue badge at all times, but has described waiting on station platforms as ‘absolute hell’ due to his condition.
John, who also battles with anxiety and OCD, says seats are rarely available and often finds himself left with no choice but to sit on the floor instead.
