Well most stations arn't wheelchair accessable anyway so its a moot point and
I'm sorry if someone is in a chair but public transport is not really for
them. The majority has to take precendence I'm afraid. There is something
called dial-a-ride you know.

Have you ever spoken to someone who relies on dial-a-ride or seen
the page about it on the TFL website? You keep on talking about
it, but the service is pretty poor for anything time-critical. It
couldn't replace /any/ of the journeys I have made by Tube this
year, for example.

The recent move to make tube trains wheelchair
friendly is just idiotic pandering to political correctness.

Rubbish. The aim is to make it incrementally more accessible to
more people - not just wheelchair users - what's wrong with that?
