    Is wheelchair access in the UK good enough?

    Breakfast phone-in, 26/11/2009

    Today we're speaking to British Paralympian Matthew Stockford who says he's been left sitting in a plane for several hours while they worked out what to do with him, and has even been refused check-in.

    Yesterday we heard from Kurt Fearnley, who says he was forced to crawl through Brisbane Airport after his airline made him check his wheelchair in with his luggage.

    Have you had similar experiences? Is wheelchair access good enough in the UK?
