Shocking revalation about jubille line stations
 
I was googling around looking for a station layout for the new Stratford
interchange when it gets the second DLR, and CTRL in. I came across a
report entitled "So, what mysteries does the Jubilee Line Extension
hold?", from "transportforall.com"

I quote

"Volunteer A [who was with a person that couldn't use the escalator] found
staff particularly helpful when they stopped the escalator for his wife to
walk down"

Stopped an escalator for 5 minutes while a passenger walks down it,
inconveniencing hundereds of other users? I hope this isn't a typical
event.

Usual practice for blind person with guide dog where there is no fixed stair
or lift.

A non-moving escalator is a stair.

A man's vehicle is a symbol of his manhood.
That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line -
It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes

^^^^^^^



On behalf of those who may need a guide dog and whose visual impairment
might mean that they cannot read that bollox, being blind/ visually impaired
is 24/7 for the majority and as such is not an "emergency" !!!

^^^^^^^ is short for "Leave the thinking to the horses, they've got bigger
heads"

Well the 0.0001% of people using the tube where that is the case, I
apologise, however stairs at some stations on the central line for starters
have "these stairs have 4,352 steps, use them only in an emergency".
