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.

That is symptomatic of a general tendency to regard "disabled" and
"wheelchair bound" as the same thing. As you correctly point out, they
are not.
