Posting on X, Britain's most successful Paralympian said she had initially booked assistance to help her off the 19:15 train from Leeds but missed it and went on the 19:45, as she journeyed to Paris for the Paralympics. LNER has said it is investigating what happened and said it was "sorry to understand there was an issue" at the station.she 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.
"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.""Legally I am allowed to turn up and ask to get on a train.
