"Weakened people, anxious people and other people with disabilities need to be able to lock and unlock the doors without getting stuck."
I have never experienced a simple lock to get stuck, but there are panic buttons inside the toilets as well.
"I don't think many people realise what it takes to build toilet in trains in a place like the UK where the disabled associations and protections are really strong."
And I don't think this is a bad thing.
- madsbuch 3y agoI never said it was a bad thing. I merely point out that is is ignorant to straight up believe that a "simple lock" is the solution without properly understanding the issue - just like you do.
- lukan 3y agoAh, I did not try to imply that you did. I was actually unsure how you meant it, but just wanted to emphasize anyway, that those regulations are very useful for disabled people. Because in most places, you would just get stuck using a wheelchair on your own. (German trains for example, in most trains you would just not get into - and if you managed to arrive at your destination, you might find out, that there are only stairs and no elevator, despite there should be one. But on this day they maybe changed the lane or whatever, they don't care. I noticed while travelling with a 2 person stroller)
