Railways The lanyard scheme is gradually being adopted by railways. It is now being used by LNER, which operates the London North Eastern routes, and c2c, which serves 26 stations in East London and South Essex. Supermarkets and retail stores In September this year, M&S become the first UK retailer to introduce sunflower lanyards into all of its stores. Sainsbury's ran a trial of the lanyards early this year in selected branches, and in October, both Sainsbury’s and Argos announced the nationwide rollout of sunflower lanyards in all their stores. Tesco is running a trial in 15 of its Hertfordshire stores. Vangarde Shopping Park in York and intu Trafford Centre in Manchester are two shopping centres that recognise the scheme. Visitor attractions and leisure providers Eureka!, a children's museum in Yorkshire, joined the lanyard scheme in August 2019. If you're planning a visit to Eureka!, they have lots of information on accessible visits on their website. The Royal International Air Tattoo, which stages air shows in Gloucestershire for aircraft enthusiasts, is another attraction currently trialling the lanyard. The famous Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire and Forest Holidays, a UK holiday provider, have introduced the lanyard scheme. According to Lincolnshire County Council, seven local heritage attractions have adopted the lanyard. Hospitals A number of NHS Trusts including Guy's and St Thomas' hospital in London, and Great Western Hospital in Swindon have adopted the lanyard scheme.

  13. been a while since i have been on here but i would like to comment about the severe flooding on Woodseats i firmly believe that sheffield city council are responsible for it because they have let the lakes in graves park silt up so when it rains they cannot hold onto excess water all they need to do to resolve it is empty the lake and dredge all the silt out
  14. Northern Rail fail in their commitments to the Equality Act by treating disabled customers less favourably than non-disabled customers. They allow you to book scooter/ramp assistance and then deny access to the train when the customer arrives. This can be intimidating and humiliating them at times. Northern Rail’s policy is outdated and their treatment of disabled people is unacceptable. The Equality Act 2010 was introduced to help ensure businesses treat everyone fairly. It protects anyone who is disabled, is thought to be disabled, or is with someone who is disabled. It gives these people rights to access goods or services in a way that means they are not treated less favourably than people without a disability https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/228103

A young woman launched a vile racist attack at a shop worker and told him to 'go back to your own country' The woman, who was apparently drunk, can be seen in video footage spitting at the chicken shop worker in Sheffield, South Yorkshire. The victim of the racist abuse filmed the disgusting tirade as the girl's friend tried in vain to pull her out of the shop - but the woman appeared determined to end her sickening rant. She yelled: “Go back to Algeria. You're a disgrace. This woman needs to be named and shamed https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/were-english-go-home-womans-12335195
