What would be the best step free route from Weybridge to St Pancras
for a 70 year old with luggage?


Assuming you can get to the platform at Weybridge OK - it's in a bit of
fierce cutting iirc) then the main challenge is getting onto the
Underground step-free. The Bakerloo at Waterloo doesn't qualify as step
free as it has those irritating half a dozen steps to platform level
(plus the escalators - how bad are those for your 70 year old?)

At St Pancras there's entirely step-free exit (by lift) from the Circle,
and escalator plus lift from the others.

My best guess would be Waterloo, Jubilee line (maybe all lifts, perhaps
an escalator from the main concourse down to the street level one)
change at Baker Street (short escalator) to the Met/Circle eastbound.

Coming back, the change at Baker Street isn't step-free.

Or a bus?

Many thanks for that, any idea how much a taxi would be?
