Accessible tram stop campaigners try to board Sydney Road tram

Key points

• Members of the Sydney Road Accessible Tram Stops campaign staged a protest on October 23. About 30 people, some using mobility aids, tried to board a low floor tram to highlight the lack of access.
• Campaigners waited over 20 minutes for the tram and sang and chanted before the attempt failed. They said the campaign had been ignored for three and a half years.
• The group is calling on the Victorian government to guarantee accessible tram stops before Upfield line level crossing removals continue.
