A NEW survey conducted by disability charity Leonard Cheshire has found many disabled people will not even attempt to make rail journeys to welcome in the New Year with family and friends due to the lack of accessible toilets.
Leonard Cheshire's Bog Standard? campaign asked passengers to document whether there were usable, accessible toilets on trains and in stations whenever they made a journey.
More than half (58 per cent) of respondents said the station they travelled from did not have a usable disabled toilet, while four out of five (80 per cent) did not find a toilet they could use on their train.
