Crystal Palace and Gipsy Hill stations have been improved by Transport for London (TfL) and Southern respectively.
Southern improved disabled access to the ticket hall at Gipsy Hill. The operator fitted automatic doors and ramps, disabled toilet and an adjustable height ticket office window. One of the platforms can be accessed by a side gate, but the other only has stairs.
Crystal Palace station is being renovated by TfL, and while three lifts are planned, design work is still being completed.
A TfL spokesman said it had to get best value for money in the current economic climate.
Patrick Horan, Southwark Disablement Association chairman, said: “South London is full of stations that are inaccessible. Only main stations have access for disabled people.”
A Southern spokeswoman said an application to the Government for lifts at Gipsy Hill had failed. She said: “There are no plans to put in lifts. If funding becomes available there is room for lifts.”
Comments are closed, but trackbacks and pingbacks are open.
