Finally a step in the right direction. It would however, be nice to
have a wheelchair accessible line other than the Jubilee.


DLR?

In my ignorance I thought they formed part of the same line (I'm not a
Londoner).

Things are progressing. There's a target of 25% step-free access by 2010
and 33% by 2016 I believe. Some key stations will be going step-free for
the Olympics - Baker Street and Green Park - as well as the remainder of
King's Cross. Victoria will be step-free just after, and planned
congestion-relief schemes for Bank, Tottenham Court Road and Paddington
H&C will involve step-free access provision. The aim is to create a
decent network of step-free stations so that a combination of buses and
Tube will work, rather than enabling one line and forgetting about all
the others.


Well that is encouraging to know. But it would be nice if I did not have
to play Mornington Crescent. I do know that the whole infrastructure has
to accessible by 2020. to comply with DDA. I know that with some
stations that will be a tall order. I guess I'm impatient, after all
current tube access is 100% better than it used to be.
