Reply To: Wheelchair gaps on train/subway cars
Unfortunately, I’m not sure there is an easy answer!
Even the same company has the accessible carriage in different spots depending on the train line, and there can be different configurations (ie 8-carriage and 10-carriage) on the same platform at different times…
Maybe you can just ask the staff which carriage it is but say you don’t need assistance?
