Do feel free to point out where Helen said she used a wheelchair?

Thanks. I'm not yet in a wheelchair and walk without a stick but I
*can't* walk very far (about 200 metres).

Well in that case unless the bus stops within 200 metres of your
destination then its useless to you anyway so your point is?

Fortunately London streets are well supplied with benches, so it's
likely that a walk of more than 200m can be split into two or more of
less than 200m.

Oh? That might be true where you live, but it certainly isn't true here
in South London! Not a bench to be had for miles, except at bus
shelters - and by the time you've got to the bus stop anyway.....
