Does anyone have any ideas of what platform at London Bridge Thameslink

would be appreciated too. I may be helping my mum change there on
Saturday, and she suffers from MS


Anything of assisance at http://nrekb.nationalrail.co.uk/disabled.htm
? Sorry - don't have time to drill into it myself.

Thanks to all who replied. The non-stopping of trains from London Bridge
to Canterbury West is rather annoying; we'd rather not attempt a journey
with yet another change, so it may just be easier to go to Charing Cross.

The reduced-mobility map on the National Rail site isn't very helpful
unfortunately. For a start, the South East map which shows step-free
access to platforms doesn't even have a key - you have to work out
whether black dot or white dot means step-free.

I do get concerned by way transport organisations are associating
"step-free" with ease of access for those of "reduced mobility".
Step-free can include very long walks - just look at the step-free
interchange between lines at Green Park for an example.
