A pink graphic with a photo of Liam who has brown short hair a blue checked shirt on. The pink and white text says "Liam's story. The railway staff are not selling tickets, they are getting people to buy from their machines. When I'm at the station I see a lot of people with a learning disability, struggling with machines." A pink graphic with a photo of Elliot smiling towards the camera, with a white t shirt on. The pink and white text says "Elliot's story. Finding a seat on the train is often not easy. I have real trouble standing on moving trains. People are nicer to me when I use my crutch." A pink graphic with a photo of Katie and Frances, they are two women who stand next to each other looking serious towards the camera. The pink and white text says. "Kate and Frances' story. It's just like no one really bothers with people, disabled people. They should actually have a bigger bus and spaces for disabled people."

Today we launched our new report #NoJourneyLeftBehind, shining a light on the devastating impact the public transport system has on people with a learning disability.
A large group of people smiling and standing together in a hall with large windows. Some hold thank-you certificates. A woman is wearing glasses, a white shirt and grey waistcoat stands in front of a wooden wall. Her name badge reads “Stephanie, Motability.” She is holding a framed picture with colourful hand-drawn cars and buses, along with a handwritten thank-you message.
