Accessibility signage installed at Witton Station
Accessibility signage was fitted at Witton Station last season thanks in large part to an Aston Villa supporter.
Cameron Wood is a wheelchair user and disability rights campaigner who travels to and from games at Villa Park via train.
Cameron wrote to the club to voice his concerns about accessibility at the station on a matchday and a meeting was subsequently arranged with West Midlands Trains.
Following the meeting, new accessibility signage, which can be seen from both ends of the platform by station and onboard staff, was fitted.
