Tactile Paving on Railway Platforms; Heading Home from University for Christmas

Available for over a year

It's emerged more than a third of the UK's railway platforms are still without tactile paving.

Caroline Pidgeon, a Lib Dem member of the London Assembly, asks how long will it take before this safety measure is universally installed? As university students across the UK prepare to head home for Christmas, we hear from two first years who are visually impaired. How has their first term worked out during a pandemic?
