But, is it not the case that at SOME STAGE all public transport will
have to be disability compliant, whatever the cost and practicality?

Not whatever the cost and practicality, surely? I know vehicles are
expected to conform once it becomes reasonable for non-compliant ones to
have been replaced, but stations etc?

Hey, you're the lawyer. I only got a law degree over 30 years ago. :-)

Colin, I am writing as a transport enthusiast and layman (not as a criminal
barrister!) but I thought that the legislation applied to all buildings to
which the public have access; if that is so it must include railway and
Underground stations etc.

My law Degree is almost 20 years old now! I got it at a time when jury trial
was sacrosanct, innocence till found guilty, no dentention without trial,
Cabinet government, no restrospective legislation .... How old-fashioned all
of this now seems!
