This is what our President who is blind said about the bus stop design where you step off the bus onto a narrow bus boarder next to a cycle lane on Lea Bridge Road, Waltham Forest
‘Not fit for purpose. It really is totally inaccessible. These sorts of designs should be scrapped’

I've met Sarah Gayton several times and agree this is extremely well-deserved. She rigorously champions the rights of visually impaired people, never giving up and with exceptional determination and intellectual acuity. Thank you to her and all @NFBUK for their persistence.
This is so well deserved. Highways Magazine have voted Sarah Gayton one of their 2026 Champions. Leading the fight against floating bus stops, Sarah endured the vilest abuse and ridicule but persevered so that now floating bus stops are not an issue that can be ignored.
This is said: "We have another Champion to celebrate – this person from the National Federation of the Blind, the Federation’s Immediate Past President. She has campaigned for blind and visually impaired people to be able to use our streets safely.
When Transport for London published a safety review of floating bus stops, she didn’t take it on trust. She worked through the data behind it – a long, painstaking job – and found serious inconsistencies. She took her findings to the British Standards Institute BSI-KSA, the UK National Audit Office, MPs and the press. TfL withdrew the report and committed to re-analysing its figures. One person who checked, and refused to give up.
Ladies and gentlemen, please show your support for Sarah Gayton

Local highways authorities are continuing to exclude blind, older and disabled people from their only means of public transport, the bus, by continuing to install floating bus stops. Please help.

More bike track lunacy. 100 yards of bike track costing £1.3m, slap bang in the middle of the pavement of a busy high road making the junction impassable for many including Andrew, who can no longer use his bus and will be excluded from the street altogether. telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/11/0…

If elected as Mayor of London, all of these floating bus stops and LTNs will be removed. We will return to national Highway Code established speed limits, and common sense will be brought back to City Hall.

Glasgow City Council designing out blind people yet again from using the bus. @Bell45 this is dangerous and discriminatory please stop these designs that do not work for blind people.
There’s still time to help shape proposed active travel routes in north and south Glasgow. The five routes would help join up our walking, wheeling and cycling network and support safer, more accessible journeys.
Surveys close Sunday 15 November 👇

This video is very shocking .
Cyclists willing to smash into pedestrians crossing at floating bus stops rather than giving way to the most vulnerable. Us cyclists should and must do better. Floating bus stops endanger others … especially the blind, elderly and disabled people..

York’s ‘Ring of Steel’, permanent HVM barriers that cost £3.5 million have developed a fault at Spurriergate 6 days before the Christmas market starts. What’s the cost of plugging the gap from the counter terror warehouse to a council in serious financial difficulty ⁉️
