If someone with chronic fatigue syndrome arrives on a train from Brighton,
is it easy for them to get to the "Raft" where the Gatwick Express
passengers board taxis, or would they have to use the street?

and in what way does "chronic fatigue syndrome" disable a person.

can they use escalators or do they need a lift, for example

They are disabled because they are incapable of walking long distances.
At some point (possibly predictable) they will just not have the
energy to take another step. They (and others who have limits on how
far they can walk in one go) are seriously disadvantaged by the current
wheelchair-dominated form of disability provision where the effort required
to avoid some stairs is often much greater than that required to use them
(which is still too much). Escalators should be fine, as long as getting
to and from the ends is possible.
