Knowing what little i do of Kilburn, it'll be to stop people getting on
when they're legless.


s/stop/allow, shirley?

Anyway. Wembley is accessible, despite that map. AIUI Green Park is
currently having stepfree access scoped out, to be ready in time for
2012. As someone else said, Finchley Road is busy and would be
straightforward to do. And Baker Street is sufficiently major that
stepfree access really ought to be provided (it's being added for the
SSL as part of the Olympics work).

The benefit/cost ratio for the others [e.g. Swiss Cottage], I imagine,
is less than favourable.
