Default DfT: More rail stations to be made accessible

Not seen this on here, so I thought I'd mention that the DfT has
approved funding to make more stations accessable by wheelchairs
between 2012-5.

Brockley
Bromley South
Camden Road
Elstree & Borehamwood
Gospel Oak
Honor Oak Park
Ilford
Limehouse
New Eltham

West Hampstead Thameslink

Seems a bit silly to only make one of the three interchange stations at West
Hampstead accessible..!

Perhaps they're gambling on that being the only one fo the three that
will be use if the interchange project happens?

At LURS the other month, Ian Brown said the West Hampstead interchange
project won't happen.

Anyway, the Thameslink station is of much more importance, especially for
people with luggage.

And it's probably the easiest to install lifts in, since there's no
station entrance to get in the way of the footbridge.
