I broke my leg earlier this year, and I'm still recovering. It's just absolutely insane how much you take walking for granted, as do businesses. The train station I use has two platforms with one entrance, meaning to get to the platform I need to walk up and down a 3-flight staircase bridge with absolutely no disability access!

Things are changing slowly, but I sometimes feel that it's the capitalist mindset that means disabilities aren't a leading thought for services. For the cost, there's not often enough return, in their mind.

But things are changing for the better. Slowly, but still!
