Not really that boggling - it has a stairlift fitted to the staircase so
someone in a wheelchair can reach the platforms. Other impaired people
or people with buggies would still have to use the stairs as there is no
lift.

This stairlift was fitted years ago - with funding from Hounslow Council
IIRC.
