Not really: an increasingly large number of stations are now fully- disabled
compliant, as presumably ALL will have to be sooner or later. Or is it just
Routemasters that have to be abolished in the name of disability compliance?

as lawyer you know what 'reasonable practicality' means.

Changing life-expired vehicles over is quite a bit cheaper than the
costs of providing step free access at a large number of deep-level
stations.....
