TfL to improve Tube and bus accessibility with mini ramps and wheelchair spaces
Transport for London aims to have half of all Tube stations with step-free access
Josh Grisdale1 CommentInstalling mini ramps and dedicating more spaces for wheelchairs and buggies on trains are great steps. I’m glad to see they have a goal of making half of tube stations step-free by 2030 too, if funding comes through. It’s important that everyone can travel easily. Some upgrades should happen this year it says, with the rest depending on funding timelines.
