Caroline Pidgeon AM, Leader of the Liberal Democrat London Assembly Group, commenting on a recent announcement that half of TfL’s rail and Underground stations will be step-free by 2018, said:

“Any progress on making more TfL rail and Underground stations step-free is obviously welcome.

“However we can hardly be complacent when the reality is that in three years’ time half of all TfL rail and Underground will still be permanently inaccessible to disabled people and the many other people who require step free access.”

“The Mayor and TfL also need to tackle the scandal that lifts at London Underground stations are frequently not working simply due to an absence of supervisory staff.”
