Hello
I write a blogged called Living with a Jude - http://www.livingwithajude.co.uk which focuses on life with our severely disabled son.
I'm writing a post at the moment about travel and why many disabled people fear public transport and I was wondering if anyone could give me an insight as to how they find travelling. I'd specifically like to hear the views of people with a disability, either physical of learning, or the opinions of their carers if that is easier.
I will of course keep it anonymous but for your information, will post the article on this page once it is complete.
Thanks,
Alice

yes alice id love to travel, the planes are great looking after you well from my limited times, its when you get to where you are going is the problem,12inch dropped curbes, steps in and around hotels no disable toilets, and if you go to a travel site for holidays for disabled people they charge 3 times the cost,i could go on,
