You know it pisses me off that most of the Tube stations are NOT accessiable to wheelchairs and people with various disablilities.
I'm near Leyton station and I'm wondering HOW THE FUCK do they get down the stairs? Yea sure... the station looks all nice and historical British. But what fucking good is that if you can't get up and down the steps?
Do some nice blokes suddenly come and lift you up and down?
Or do they just re-route you on a bus for 2 hours?
Perhaps you're supposed to tip your chair back and slide down the steps while hoding on for dear life. Then use a rope and tie on to the back of the train!!!
I've got an idea....
Save some money on the "Mind the Gap" early warning system and put in more ramps.
