But if you've spent 200 million on infrastructure changes that are costing you 10 million a year in finance costs you've no choice but to continue paying it Well money aside there are also more practical considerations. Deep level tube trains are not large and in the rush hour even suitcases cause problems. Wheelchair users would have no chance even in the new trains with the pointless wheelchair section (if theres nowhere for people to move out of the way to to let a wheelchair go there they won't move, end of) since commuters are not going to get off to allow someone in a wheelchair to take their place. They'd either have to get on somewhere near the end of the line, not use it during busy periods or forget it and get a taxi. B2003 |
