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 at quite what height should the platforms be at Ealing Common and
Rayner's Lane to Uxbridge to be step free?

Maybe they should make the platform a slope so it is stepfree to
Districts/Mets at one end and Piccadillys at the other!
