Success in campaign for guide dogs on Tube escalators
Following campaigning by Caroline Pidgeon for guide dogs to be allowed on tube escalators, Transport for London and the Government have formally lifted the ban. With effect from 5th October, trained assistance dogs for disabled people will be legally allowed on Tube, DLR and Overground escalators.
Caroline told the Evening Standard:
The ban on visually impaired people being able to take guide dogs on to moving escalators on the Tube and other parts of London’s transport network is outdated and wrong.
