In article , d wrote: There are plenty of journeys available already. Has anyone seen someone in a wheelchair on the tube yet? There are 66 stations which step-free from street to platform. That means that there are 66 time 65 (just over 4 thousand) possible journeys with both ends step-free. Assuming all the interchanges are step free, of course. There are 270 stations total. That means that there are 270*269 (or just over 72 thousand) possible journeys on LuL. That means that around 6% of journeys are possible step-free. If LuL wish to improve things, more power to them: 6% is dreadfully low. Remember that the design life of S-Stock is probably around 30 years - and a lot can change in that time. In the mean time, step free adaptations are mostly benifiting those with prams and luggage; for them, a step free station at one end of the journey will help as they have the option of strugling up the stairs at the other end. Well said. |
