Ex-Paralympian Tanni Grey-Thompson says apologies not enough for having to ‘crawl off’ train

Former athlete sent series of tweets when her LNER train arrived at King's Cross with no one available to help her

Tanni Grey-Thompson, the former Paralympic athlete, has said apologies are not enough after she had to drag herself off a London North Eastern Railway (LNER) train because no staff were there to help her.

The multi-gold-winning Paralympian was left stranded on Monday night at London's King's Cross station on a train from Leeds as she tried to make her way to Wednesday's opening ceremony of the Paralympic Games in Paris.
