"Currently, 94 of 272 Tube stations have step-free access, with around 40 more undergoing feasibility studies or design work. However, Liberal Democrat politicians in outer London have demanded the network accelerates the pace at which such studies are commissioned for stations outside of the capital but under TfL control."
"The absence of even preliminary studies at certain stations is a cause for concern. Addressing these accessibility gaps would represent a meaningful step towards a more inclusive transport network."
Transport for London is facing criticism for deprioritizing commuter stations in its goal to make half the network accessible by 2030. Currently, only 94 of 272 Tube stations have step-free access. Liberal Democrat politicians are demanding faster feasibility studies for stations under TfL control, particularly those outside the capital. They highlighted inconsistencies in assessments and noted that only one of several listed stations has been approved for step-free infrastructure. The absence of studies at certain stations raises concerns about TfL's commitment to accessibility and inclusive transport.
