Protesters want to highlight the lack of progress over accessibility
|
Disability campaigners have been protesting at what they say is a lack of access at a Worcestershire station.
Members of Disability Action Wyre Forest met at Kidderminster station on Wednesday to highlight the problem.
A spokesman said during the evenings, when the station is unmanned, it is difficult for people to get up the steep slope to the street unaided.
Central Trains, which looks after the station, said funding will be provided within 10 years to do the work.
Mark Lawley, of Disability Action, said: "We really just want to highlight the slow progress made over accessibility to the street.
"The Strategic Rail Authority has said it will get the work done but it has until 2015 to do so.
"We think it should be accessible now and we just wanted to draw attention to the matter."
