Default KXSP question

It's possible that if the station were taken over by LUL, Network
Rail's grandfather rights allowing it to operate despite lack of
disabled access and (possibly) modern safety features would no longer
apply - ie it would need to meet the same rules that would apply to a
new Underground station. The modifications for this might be expensive,
requiring either DfT funding or a DfT sponsored derogation from the
rules.


KXSP will already be fully disabled accessible though. Do the rules
say they have to make EVERY entrance accessible?


Good point, and no. Hmm. Maybe they're just talking crap, then.
