TfL do a lot (they could do a lot more, of course).


What I'm exploring is whether the 28 stations which are being improved
over the next several years are having anything done to them apart from
being made step-free.

And one of the problems with many step-free solutions is that they
involve considerable detours, which may not be suitable for those who
have difficulty walking but don't use a wheelchair.

Think about how to get from Euston Rd to the Victoria Line at KX/StP for
example. A minimum of three lifts, that could hardly have been put
further apart from each other if they tried.
