Next peaceful Push 4 Subway Access protest
Sunday 22nd November 1pm
Outside Partick Station

ONLY TWO OUT OF FIFTEEN STATIONS IS A DISGRACE

It is TWENTY TWENTY SIX and SPT still fail to have ANY level of transparency on their so called ‘efforts’ to make the subway more accessible.
Empty words are not good enough and we demand better.

Sit wobble and stand with us on the 22nd

To the able bodied, this could be you, you are NOT immune, but you should care anyway because we are your family friends colleagues and neibours. STAND WITH US.

To the wonderful crips, if you can join us your presence, perspective and voice is so important. Fight with us! Meet fellow crips!! We have pride in the community which has been cultivated.

To the wonderful Crips who want to but can’t join us,
That is okay! Repost this, spread the word, message us, you are seen and your voice and support means the world. We fight for you especially.

Together we will achieve a better brighter and ACCESSIBLE future.

You know what to do.

Transport is a public good that should be available to all. Good, affordable, accessible transport enables people to access jobs, education and training which can raise household income and can protect them from being pushed into poverty. That's why we back #BetterBuses and welcome @scotgov commitments on returning our buses to public control.

A massive win for our campaign! 🚌🚏

Yesterday @John_Swinney_SNP announced all buses in Scotland would be brought under public control 👏

It's vital this pledge supports the work SPT are already doing to progress bus franchising in Strathclyde, and enables other regions to follow their lead...

To deliver this by 2031, @ScotGov must act quickly to simplify the bus franchising legislation and empower & support all Scotland’s Regional Transport Partnerships to use the powers 🚌🚏

Please sign our @ScotParl petition to ensure they do this 👇

Join our Online Event to mark 40 years of the disastrous policy of bus deregulation & discuss progress towards getting our buses back in public control 🚍✊

The 26 October 1986 was known as ‘D-Day’, when the disastrous policy of bus deregulation was imposed everywhere across England, Scotland and Wales, except London.

It caused chaos, by stripping control over vital bus services away from public bodies and handing it to private companies instead. Since then, we’ve lost millions of miles of routes, fares have risen well above inflation and most parts of the country have been left with an expensive, unreliable and fragmented bus system that does not meet communities’ needs.

But after 40 years of failure, the tide is finally turning against bus deregulation. New publicly-controlled systems are now in place – or soon will be over the next few years – in many parts of England and Wales.

Join our Better Buses National Conference Online Event to hear more about the grassroots campaigns which have led to this much needed policy change. We will learn more about the history of bus deregulation, the campaigners who fought against it at the time, and the devastating impact it has had on human rights.

There will be time for discussion in breakout rooms exploring the progress being made in different parts of the country, sharing skills and providing tips to help you get involved in the fight for Better Buses for all.

2 out of 15 stations is not and will never be good enough.
The hostility and apathy disabled people experience at the hands of SPT for simply using their service is abhorrent and also NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

Sit stand wobble and roll with us as we peacefully protest for an accessible subway that ALL members of the public can use, with choice and dignity.

Come to our peaceful protest on Sunday 11th October 1pm outside Kelvinbridge station (carpark entrance)

Disabled people deserve better.

I know you know this, so join us!

And a friendly reminder to sign and share our petition which is in our bio! The more signatures we have, the higher the chance we will be heard, help us by amplifying our voice.

Capitalism at work : sell public bus companies, deregulate private bus companies, let hem withdraw from unprofitable routes, watch their profits disappear to shareholders. People deserve better than this. From our chatt with Susie Wood of @getglasgowmoving

So grateful to Ellie for giving us a tour of the Get Glasgow Moving’s 10-year exhibition!

It was fantastic to catch up with the campaign amd discuss how we best reach a public transport system in public hands! 🚌

What’s the point in £2 buses if the buses don’t even turn up ..

The exhibition is open for one more day at @newglasgowsociety 9am-5pm, make sure to get down to see a real part pf Glasgow’s living history, and see how many times you can spot Patrick. 💚

It’s been a total labour of love to bring this exhibition together – four days’ solid to install and a whole summer spent sorting through the archives and organising more than 240 photographs, sixty press cuttings, fifty films, alongside many old placards, banners and leaflets to the tell the story of our campaign over the last decade 🚍 🚇 🚆

I’ll be invigilating from Monday – Weds, so come and say hi 😊
