"I urge Crossrail to consider the issue of full accessibility again."

Trial for councillor over 'corner shop' tweet about Sadiq Khanpublished at 14:33 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February 2016
A councillor accused of sending a "menacing" tweet aimed at London MP Labour and Labour's mayoral candidate Sadiq Khan, is set to stand trial on 11 March after claiming the message was not grossly offensive.
Image source, PAJim Buckley was expelled by his local Conservative group in November after deleting a message which likened Mr Khan's constituency office in London to a corner shop.
Buckley, 60, spoke only to enter a plea of not guilty and confirm his personal details during a 10-minute hearing at Leamington Spa Magistrates' Court in Warwickshire.
Magistrates heard that Buckley, now an independent councillor for the Hillmorton ward of Rugby Borough Council, accepted posting a tweet in the Tooting area of London which read: "Your next London Mayor? You think his corner shop would be open on a Saturday?"
His solicitor, Mohammad Farooq, told the court: "My client accepts sending the tweet. However he would argue that there is a fine line between sending something which is insensitive and something which is grossly offensive."
