Josh Wintersgill and Emily Yates have joined the advisory board

Initially launched back in 2012, the group aims to make travel accessible for everyone by providing guidance and feedback on the needs of passengers with disabilities. 

 

The board’s new members include Paralympian and entrepreneur Josh Wintersgill and accessibility consultant and broadcaster Emily Yates.

Chair Blunkett, meanwhile, who served as home secretary for three-and-a-half years under Tony Blair, has been a member of the House of Lords since 2015.
