Personal Oxygen (Public Transport)

We are talking, again, about relatively small cylinders and concentrators. Transport for London is proposing that there should be a proviso whereby somebody should have a letter or other confirmation to show that their cylinder or concentrator is kosher and has been checked for security purposes. In such circumstances, why should people have to give 24 hours' notice to use a train? If we are really saying to these people that they will be treated the same as other people—the same as people who use a wheelchair, for example—surely they should be able to buy their ticket and walk on in the same way that anybody else does.
