Hi all,

It seemed a mamoth task for me, as I havent dared go anywhere other than in my car.
I booked two theartre tickets and went off to the train station after a phone call to ask if it would be ok.
They were so helpful and I was met by lovely people at each end with ramp. It was so fanatstic and I felt really free, everyone I met was helpful, even when I ask if I could charge up my battery in a Chinese restaurant. :lol:

I feel that I could go anywhere now, and would dearly love to go to London has anyone tried this on a scooter? or am I being a bit to enthusiastic?

Mind you was shattered and found it hard to stay awake for the performance. :oops:

    Hi lorrayne,
    well done,I have a mobility scooter and like you was scared to go out at first , but hey when I did now there is no holding me back , I love the open air and listening to my radio from my mobile phone , boy is it fun now going round to shops. I was told my scooter should be able to do ten miles ( I dont think so its just a wee light one that can be folded up and put in a car.

    the big scooters can do great speed ad ten miles will be nothing to it

    hello Lorrayne, Well done to you i know just what its like The first time i took my scooter on the train Was a major event for me everything planned to time and i was trying it out for the first time. I left home at 530am thought i would try it whilst quiet i was still a bit embarassed useing the scooter. Like you i could not get over how helpfull everybody was getting me on and off the train with the ramps. I have been out on the train several times now though not as far as London. Keep it up

    Hi,
    Thats really wonderful, how brave you are! :) I bet you'll be gadding about all over the place. Great to hear something positive about rail travel too, you hear so many complaints and horror stories it makes a change to know they can be good too. :D
