Wir zeigen noch ein Video und Fotos, aber ich kann jetzt schon sagen, wir beide fanden den ICE L richtig gut. Leider werden wir damit nicht der Erwartung einiger Hater gerecht werden, die meinen, dass wir nur Bahn-Bashing betreiben. Somit: Sorry, liebe Hater! Ansonsten gilt:

Einstieg in den ICE L mit E-Rollstuhl, 1. reguläre Fahrt.

A new era begins for Talgo in Germany with the launch of the commercial service for ICE L trains. The first train, ICE 1548, arrived in Cologne from Berlin on time today. These fully accessible trains form part of the Talgo 230 platform, which has been in service since last

Disappointing, another new train enters service that isn’t @LevelBoarding baking in inaccessibility for decades @TransportCttee

#Barrierefrei ankommen in Südtirol mit dem neuen #Railjet der @unsereOEBB Bald in Italien, Deutschland und Österreich mit Niederflureinstieg, 3 Rolliplätzen mit jeweils Sitzplatz für Rollifahrer:in / Begleitperson. @bahnfueralle #accessible #accessibile #bahn @DB_Bahn #treino

Netherlands orders 36 FLIRT trains from Stadler Designed to be accessible through ⁦@LevelBoarding⁩ entrance doors and throughout interior Areas will be reserved for passengers with reduced mobility, plenty of space for luggage, pushchairs + cycles

📢 Victory for activists, after months of campaigning for public interest duties in the new Railways Bill. Core duties for disabled passengers and public interest have been restored, including socioeconomic benefits and environment. https://t.co/pOFNiVZSPc

. ⁦@ScotRail⁩ launches procurement for new train fleet Train enhancements will include more comfortable journeys, improved on-board facilities such as modern air-con, greater reliability, increased accessibility and ⁦@LevelBoarding⁩

Accessible travel just got an upgrade after Germany unveiled the ICE L, the country's first high-speed train with low-floor, step-free access. #dwbusiness

. @DB_Bahn will roll out new era of German high-speed travel with launch of ICE L via @Christiane "L" is for @LevelBoarding For disabled passengers independence becomes the default creating a truly seamless boarding experience https://t.co/zwZyZt2xaU

Rail travel can be accessible to everyone. This, and other examples from around the UK and world prove it. We're determined to make it happen.

Brand-new electric trains (756’s) on the Coryton and Penarth lines are transforming travel for passengers: 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦increased capacity, ⏱️faster and more frequent services, 🧑‍🦽‍➡️improved comfort and accessibility – including level boarding. Here’s what passengers had to say⤵️

The first of a fleet of shiny new DLR trains entered service this morning, to a collective shug from most of the passengers – and that’s exactly as it should be. https://t.co/h2nTgNzhhx

So @Railnatter recently put out a new episode on @LevelBoarding - as both @northernassist and @ScotRail confirm that their new fleets will be low-floored to enable level boarding, it's worth stating: WE WON. It will be very difficult for new fleets not to be LB-ready now 🏆

New Class 756 electric trains now run daily on the Coryton and Penarth lines, offering better comfort, faster journeys, more space, Wi-Fi, and level boarding. It’s part of Transport for Wales’ full rollout across the South Wales Valleys network. https://t.co/KcBTRH1gkx

Electrifying the Alps: Stadler Unveils Game-Changing FLIRT Trains for Valle d’Aosta With four wide low-floor doors on each side, the trains ensure fast passenger flow and easy, barrier-free ⁦@LevelBoarding⁩ experience for the Valle d’Aosta region.

Congratulations @merseyrail 👏 👏 Other train operators please take note - @LevelBoarding for the win 🏆 Enables independent travel for wheelchair users and is safer for everyone

My only rail trip here in Budapest was on M2, with its level boarding.

Here's what the combination of a low-floored train fitted with gap fillers and platform/track set (very roughly!) to the GB standard position looks like. Curvature doesn't matter. It isn't perfect, but it's a much better starting point than the status quo 📐

Yet more evidence of the damage that the chronic lack of post-2020 ambition for UK high speed rail is having on transport inequality: platform edge doors were a key accessibility opportunity that HS2 offered by operating a uniform fleet. Now they've been abandoned.
