A young disabled campaigner is calling for increased transport accessibility, after it was revealed London Underground journeys take four-times longer on average for disabled people.

Sulaiman Khan, 30, took part in a nine-month undercover investigation and national survey for Muscular Dystrophy UK.

The findings, which share disturbing experiences across buses, trains, taxis and the underground, were published in The End of the Line report on Wednesday (April 20).

The findings reveal a bleak picture of young disabled people turned away from journeys, facing abuse and left stranded.

Sulaiman, who has congenital muscular dystrophy, spoke of ‘no-go zones’ within London that, in his wheelchair, he simply cannot reach.

With such a high amount of Tube stations inaccessible, disabled people across London are supposedly forced to make lengthy journeys and detours just to reach a destination.

Recently, a Harrow local talked about how being deaf affects his transport experience.

Sulaiman Khan, 30, Muscular Dystrophy UK Trailblazers Ambassador said: ‘‘It is devastating that young disabled people like me are being held back in life by limited transport options.

“Living in London I’m better served than most, but I still face daily battles - only 25% of the Underground is accessible, for example."

The report detailed that journeys such as Harrow-on-the-Hill to Wembley Park, which takes an average of six minutes, took a total of 36 minutes for a disabled passenger, around six times as long.

Similarly, a journey from Victoria to Willesden took Mr Khan an hour and 14 minutes, which would have taken 23 minutes, had he not needed disability access requirements.

Sulaiman Khan continued: "I’ve constantly struggled to get to work opportunities and miss out on socialising – parts of London are simply ‘no-go’ zones for me, making me missing out.

“We must push for full inclusion, no-one should be excluded.’’

'We know it can still be difficult'

In response to the findings, London Underground said they offer every assistance possible to help passengers use the network.

London Underground’s Director of Strategy, said: “London has one of the most accessible transport networks in the world, but we know it can still be difficult for some Londoners to get around.

"That’s why we’re investing hundreds of millions of pounds in making stations and trains more accessible.

“More than half of our Underground and Rail stations will be step-free by 2018 and the Elizabeth line, which includes 40 step-free stations, will open through central London at the same time - transforming access for disabled Londoners.

“In the meantime, we offer every assistance possible – with turn up and go services, fully staffed stations with staff trained by disabled people and a wide range of information available to our customers including step-free guides, tips on getting around, and regular updates on our accessibility Twitter feed.”
