"the pensioner said the step was 12-14 inches high" wtf? Any inches high is just shitty design.

It took a lot of campaigning by disabilities rights groups to get what accessibility there is on the Elizabeth line. https://www.transportforall.org.uk/news/disabled-campaigners-are-to-thank-for-accessibility-on-the-elizabeth-line/

Imagine spending £19billion on a project and argueing over £33million to make it more accessible.
