Paralympian Tanni Grey-Thompson is forced to CRAWL off train at London's King Cross station after being left in empty carriage for 15 minutes during journey to the Paralympics

Lady Tanni Grey-Thompson says she was forced to crawl off a train last night when rail staff failed to come and help her amid her journey to the Paralympics.

 

 

The gold-medal winning Paralympian, 54, said she arrived into London King’s Cross station around 10pm yesterday and there were no workers there.

 

 

She had initially been posting on X, formerly Twitter, about her journey on a London North Eastern Railway (LNER) train into the capital from Leeds.

 

 

The wheelchair racing champion, who is now a House of Lords Baroness, was on the 7.45pm service and had praised rail staff who kept checking on whether or not she needed food.

 

 

The train got into the station just after 10pm, and she posted: ‘Hey LNER my train has arrived at KGX and there is no one to get me off.’
And just minutes later: ‘Cleaning crew are on board.’ And then: ‘Cleaning crew are now leaving the train!!!!’

The Baroness continued posting, desperately trying to find out who could help her.

She wrote: ‘LNER who do I need to call to get off this train!!! It got to KGX 10 mins ago!!!!!’

At 10.24pm, about 20 minutes after Lady Tanni arrived into King’s Cross, she said she’d had to crawl off the train.

She posted on X: ‘Well I’ve just crawled off.

‘At 22.17 (train got in at 22.02) I decided to crawl off. Had to move all my stuff onto the platform. Member of cleaning staff offered to help. They’re not insured.’

Lady Tanni said that she had been starting her journey to Paris for the Paralympics when the saga unfolded.

She told the BBC this morning: ‘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.’

She said she had a ‘contract’ to be met at the other end by staff to help her off the train, adding: ‘Legally I am allowed to turn up and ask to get on a train.

‘We were meant to have level boarding in the UK on 1 January 2020 under the Disability and Discrimination Act but government has kicked the can down the road.’

MailOnline has contacted Lady Tanni for further comment.

LNER has this morning apologised, and said it’s probing the incident.

A spokesperson said: ‘We are sorry to understand there has been an issue at London King’s Cross station on Monday evening.
We are in the process of investigating this and are in contact with the customer directly.’

LNER’s Managing Director David Horne also replied to Lady Tanni’s post, saying: ‘My sincere apologies for this Tanni.

‘Something has clearly gone wrong here and we’ve let you down. We’ll investigate what went wrong and share the details.’

But the situation was met with fury online.

One person wrote: ‘This is awful, so sorry to hear this. Did the onboard team just run away (I presume there were staff)? Even station staff should have done a walk through as the train terminated.
Awful Tanni, so sorry – disgraceful from LNER, not good enough.’

Another said: ‘Geesh – that is disgraceful. What are you going to do about this LNER?

‘What changes are you going to make to ensure that no wheelchair user is left abandoned on one of your trains?’

One other said: ‘LNER This is disgusting! Why didn’t your crew do a walk through to make sure all passengers had safely disembarked?

‘Appalled that Tanni was left in this situation.’

Patrick Mahomes is receiving a lot of backlash online over a picture that appeared to show him rocking a Nazi symbol.

 

On Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs improved to 9-0 against their division rival Denver Broncos.

Along with their 9-0 start, the Chiefs have now won 15 straight games (including postseason) dating back to the 2023 season.

The Chiefs offense struggled in week 10, barely surviving to seal the win with a late blocked field goal.

However, a win is a win no matter how it happens.

After the game, one social media user decided to troll Patrick Mahomes by posting an old picture of him wearing a headband that appeared to have a swastika on it.

Elon Musk: “I’d Rather Break My Leg Than See Taylor Swift During An NFL Game

Elon Musk: “I’d Rather Break My Leg Than See Taylor Swift During An NFL Game

In a surprising revelation on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, Elon Musk commented on pop superstar Taylor Swift’s recent appearances at NFL games, stating, “I’d rather break my leg than see Taylor Swift during an NFL game.” The billionaire and tech tycoon’s comment quickly became one of the platform’s top trending topics, with fans and critics alike weighing in on the unexpected sentiment.

 

Since Elon Musk’s $44bn acquisition of X last year, the platform has undergone a series of notable changes, from overhauling the verification system to the reinstatement of former US President Donald Trump. Musk has not only gutted trust and safety teams but also installed a new CEO, former NBCUniversal executive Linda Yaccarino, making his influence felt in both operational and content aspects of the platform. With this fresh comment about Swift, Musk further establishes his fearless approach to sharing personal opinions on X, regardless of public perception.

Taylor Swift, meanwhile, has recently become a regular face at NFL games, particularly at Arrowhead Stadium, home of the Kansas City Chiefs. Her budding relationship with the Chiefs’ All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce has drawn considerable media attention. Swift’s appearances at these games, coupled with her high-profile relationship, have drawn an avalanche of media attention and a significant increase in game viewership. An average of nearly 27 million viewers tuned into the Chiefs-Jets game, hoping to catch a glimpse of the music icon.

Musk’s comment on Swift’s NFL appearances has predictably divided opinions on X. Supporters of the “Shake It Off” singer were quick to defend her, criticizing Musk for his seemingly unprovoked remark. Others opined that the tech mogul’s comment was perhaps in jest or simply reflective of his known penchant for sparking internet debates.

Regardless of Musk’s intentions, his statement has reignited discussions about celebrity involvement in sports and the cultural impact of such appearances. As the NFL capitalizes on Swift’s newfound passion for the game, Musk’s provocative comment ensures that the intersection of pop culture, sports, and technology remains as dynamic and unpredictable as ever.

In a world where every tweet can spark a global conversation, it remains to be seen if Swift will respond to Musk’s remark or if the NFL will weigh in on the matter. What is certain, however, is that the lines between entertainment sectors continue to blur, and public figures like Musk and Swift are at the forefront of this evolving narrative
