Access all areas: London's transport accessibility show

ExCeL London
2 October 2014

09:30-16:30
Nearest station: Prince Regent DLR

Open for one day only, Access All Areas is a free public exhibition and conference about disabled and older people’s access to transport.

The event will highlight current and future innovations aimed at making it easier for everyone to get out and about in the Capital. It will also provide an opportunity for disabled and older people and their organisations to discuss priorities for accessibility with leaders in the transport field.

The day will feature a range of interactive exhibits and activities, including:

• Life-size mock-ups of Tube and rail stations and street environments
• Real buses, taxis, coaches and Dial-a-Ride vehicles
• An innovation zone, including a bus which tells passengers when there are empty seats upstairs, freeing room for people who need it downstairs
• A workshop where young people can swap tips on using public transport and discuss their experiences and priorities for the future
• Seminars, discussion sessions and workshops on topics including: integration between rail services; conflict between cyclists and pedestrians; question and answer sessions with managing directors of London’s bus companies; information for people with learning disabilities; and training of rail and bus staff
• Earlybird offers for free rides on the Emirates Air Line cable car and discounted trips on river services

The show will also provide a safe environment for disabled people to learn about transport and try out London’s increasingly accessible network.
