There was a short piece on BBC london news on TV last night about
the new vic line trains and an interview with some bod at (I
think) Bombardier. Anyway , turns out that it looks like the
prototypes at least will have less seating (quelle surprise) and
a lot of what seating is left will be flip up so theres room for
all these mythical wheelchair bound passengers we keep hearing
about but no one has ever actually seen.


The reason we never see wheelchair passengers is because so few
stations are step-free, and the ones with lifts usually have the
out-of-order type of lifts.

It's bad enough try to get a push-chair around...
