A remarkable Cavan Town man who recently lost both legs to long-term diabetes was the first person to participate in a Bus Eireann pilot project for wheelchair access on the Dublin-Cavan 109 route. A Bus Eireann spokesperson confirmed to The Anglo-Celt that John Hancox was the first man to use the facility. Read John's story in this week's Anglo-Celt. And please tell us - do you think that public transport is accessible for people with disabilities?
