Default Disabled 'to sue for Tube access'

London Underground (LU) has been warned that it could be sued by disabled
people if it does not improve access for them by October.
By then the part of the Disability Discrimination Act which governs access
to transport will come into force.

Currently only one in seven stations are step-free, which allows entry for
wheelchair users.

And at quite what height should the platforms be at Ealing Common and
Rayner's Lane to Uxbridge to be step free?


Hasn't there been some consideration to hiving off the Rayner's Lane
Piccadilly branch to the District line - or running it as a Acton Town -
Rayner's Lane / Uxbridge shuttle?
