Does TfL have to pass any public enquiry to consider needs such as
mobility, particularly the removal of guaranteed step-free routes


Allegedly, any "Circle Line" train terminating at Edgware Road will
offer a cross platform connection to an onward train, so in theory a
guaranteed step-free route will continue to exist.


Whether they'll be able to honour this promise is another question
entirely.


More the the point, there is no such promise in the other
direction.


Yes there is, you change onto a District line service at Edgware Road
(which should leave from the adjacent platform),if you then wish a
Circle line service, you change again at a station between Paddington
and High Street Kensington. In fact, heading west from Edgware Road
was never going to be the problem, it is maintaining the planned
platform for interchange heading east that will be.


Two changes!


So? You were asking for step-free, not minimal changes, the time
penalty is only going to be five minutes, less than going the wrong
way around the Circle.
