Paul, you aren’t doing yourself any favours.It’s widely acknowledged that accessibility is still a major issue on London’s transport network. Nigel is speaking from his own direct experience, but there are many others who are in a similar, or worse, situation. TfL is particularly recalcitrant in improving accessibility for its stations, despite years of campaigning by groups such as Transport for All. I wonder why the LCC gets everything it demands while other groups are, at best, patronised or, at worst, simply ignored.National Rails is little better. The lobbying for proper integrated access at Ealing Broadway went on for years but was not considered. It was discussed on this forum and elsewhere over the years.Unlike cyclists, physical disability is a recognised characteristic and supposedly rights are protected in law. Yet local authorities, TfL and others make very little effort to include the disabled in their grand plans. That applies to all infrastructure, including pavements and road crossings, not just access to stations.At some point in your life you won’t be able to pedal about. I do wonder how you’ll manage then. Meanwhile, here’s some reading for you:https://www.transportforall.org.uk/
