Greater Anglia introduces streamlined Passenger Assist booking

Greater Anglia, the East of England train operator, has launched a streamlined Passenger Assist booking process to enhance the travel experience for disabled and older passengers who require assistance. The operator claims to be the first train operating company in the UK to launch the initiative. Passenger Assist is a national system designed to dismantle travel barriers for older and disabled individuals. It offers a range of services, including journey planning, assistance with boarding and alighting from trains, navigating stations, and purchasing tickets. This innovative approach allows passengers to request assistance simultaneously as they book their rail tickets directly on the Greater Anglia website at the post-purchase screen or 'my bookings' page. This eliminates the prior procedure, which required customers to navigate to a separate Passenger Assist website to request help. The new software integration simplifies the booking process, offering a faster and more convenient service for customers. Greater Anglia accessibility manager Rebecca Richardson said: 'Last year, we assisted more than 112,000 people with their journeys on Greater Anglia, and around 60,000 of those journeys were pre-booked. 'We are pleased to introduce these changes, which will make it quicker, easier and more convenient for customers who like to buy their tickets online. Passengers can also still book assistance over the phone or on the passenger assist website if they prefer.' Each customer is required to have their own Passenger Assist account, and the new system currently applies only to Advance ticket bookings. For other ticket types, assistance bookings must still be made over the phone or through the Transreport Passenger Assist website or app. In December last year, the UK government unveiled its intention to bring three train operating companies, including South Western Railway, C2C, and Greater Anglia, back into public ownership by 2025. This decision follows the government's Passenger Railway Services (Public Ownership) Act and is a key component of a wider initiative aimed at revitalising and injecting funds into the railway industry. The goal is to consolidate the management of rail infrastructure and services under one organisation.

LA Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue dedicates historic Garfield School as new home for his transformative multimillion-dollar initiative: Commitment to Community (C2C) in Mexico, Missouri

MEXICO, Mo., July 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On Friday, July 5, community members, local leaders, and former students gathered for a building dedication ceremony at the former Garfield School site. The event marked the official renaming and transition of the facility into the headquarters for Tyronn Lue's Commitment to Community (C2C), a ten million dollar community initiative founded by Tyronn Lue. Originally established to educate Black students during the era of segregation, Garfield School was shuttered and turned into a Credit Union and now returns to its roots as a community-focused center. With its new purpose, the building will continue to serve young people in the Mexico area through educational programming and partnerships that promote opportunity and growth. Coach Lue announced the new name of the building, now known as the Kim and Olivia Lue Garfield Legacy Center, a tribute to the legacy and spirit of his mother, grandmother, and their alma mater, the Garfield School. 'Mexico, Missouri, is the type of place where you're raised by the entire community, not just your family. The Garfield School was so important to so many people, and its closure devastated the community. It is an incredible honor that we were able to buy this and transform it back into a community hub where people can connect, learn and find resources and opportunities,' said Coach Lue, smiling with pride. The dedication marks an early milestone in a larger effort to invest in the Mexico, Missouri community. The work is in partnership with the Tyronn Lue Fund and Partners for Rural Impact (PRI), a national nonprofit focused on expanding educational opportunity in rural areas. Guests took part in a ribbon cutting, a community legacy walk, and tours of newly acquired buildings next to the school. These adjacent buildings, previously owned by a local credit union, will be converted into spaces for youth programs, resource centers, and community-based services. Coach Lue also looks forward to sharing this work with his Los Angeles community at the second annual fundraising event for C2C, which will take place at the Intuit Dome on October 19th. About C2C In July 2023, three-time NBA Champion Tyronn Lue announced an initial five-year commitment to bring a multi-million-dollar investment to his hometown of Mexico, Missouri. Called 'C2C', representing Lue's 'Commitment to Community,' this initiative is a partnership between the Tyronn Lue Fund and Partners for Rural Impact that aims to ensure all residents of Mexico, MO have access to the opportunities and resources they need to thrive and succeed.

Whether I want to do it continually, whether I want to stop doing it, any of those things, it's my saviour in a lot of ways.' Away from the country music scene, Tim teamed up with rapper Nelly for the 2004 hit Over and Over, which reached number one in the UK. He also starred alongside Sandra Bullock in the 2009 film The Blind Side. Last year, Tim won high praise when he collaborated with Post Malone on the hit song, Wrong Ones.
