Grey-Thompson

Ms Gerra has now written to several MPs, including her local one, Emily Darlington, as well as disability minister Sir Stephen Timms, the UK's only blind MP, Steve Darling, and Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson.

Paralympian and House of Lords crossbencher Baroness Grey-Thompson is a vocal critic.

Gold medal-winning Paralympian and wheelchair user Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson said the 18-year wait was "ridiculous" and "completely unacceptable".

Baroness Grey-Thompson, who crawled off a train in London in the summer when assistance did not arrive after 20 minutes, said there was a "massive sense of frustration" in the failure to bring ageing stations up to date.

Independent crossbench peer Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson was concerned by the lack of women's football as a consideration in the bill.
