It is quite apparent how poor access for wheel chairs is in central London since it is so rare to see anyone using a wheelchair around the streets.
This was all the more apparent with when the Paralympics was on in London and I’d see far more wheelchairs users emboldened to be out and about. I’d like to see them feel at ease all of the time.
It takes a really dogged personality for someone to commute into London via the accessible stations. When (if) Crossrail opens I trust access will be easier.
For some reason I feel quite strongly about this.
