That didn't seem to be a problem for the 65 years (1917-1982) that the
Bakerloo ran to Watford Junction. And of course it remains the situation
from Queens Park to Harrow & Wealdstone.

That's true, but we have a more enlightened attitude to disabled
passengers than our predecessors, so it isn't persuasive.

So if disabled can't be accomodated then the best solution is that no one is?
Is that what you're saying?

More that the disabled will never be accommodated and will continue to
be ignored unless new works have to meet certain standards. There are
centuries of precedent for this and they've had enough. Sometimes the
requirements seem to go too far, but I understand why.
