378s to be unveiled today - BBC
In article ,
Andy wrote: The number of accessible stations certainly mean that the trains should be accessible as well, regardless of the law saying that they must be. The accessibility of stations today is something of a red herring. Trains tend to have wheels and can move from one route to another; a non-accessible train will not be able to be used on routes which do have accessible stations - or will be probably unacceptable reduction in service if they do. Secondly, trains have a lifetime of 20 or 30 years. In that time accessibility is likely to improve on the current routes. It would be a waste to have a station with platforms all can reach, but trains that only some can use. -- :wq |
