Default Disabled 'to sue for Tube access'

London Underground (LU) has been warned that it could be sued by disabled
people if it does not improve access for them by October.
By then the part of the Disability Discrimination Act which governs access
to transport will come into force.

Currently only one in seven stations are step-free, which allows entry for
wheelchair users.

And where will the resources needed to go back and restore the lifts
originally removed in lieu of escalators come from?
