Tanni Grey-Thompson forced to ‘crawl off’ train

Baroness Grey-Thompson, who lives in Stockton, Teesside, said: “There was no one there to meet me and I waited five minutes before putting anything on social media because you’re meant to leave five minutes. After 16 minutes of waiting at King’s Cross, there was no one in sight.

“There were a couple of cleaners but they’re not insured or able to help me off. So I decided that I would crawl off the train.

“I’m going to Paris later today, I’ve got a few bags. I chucked them on the platform, I had to get out of my chair, sit on the floor by the door which is not pleasant and then crawl off.”

Although she went on the later train, she “had a contract” to be met at the other end.
