You still need a member of staff at Mill Hill to deploy a ramp as there’s still a large step from train to platform.

It would be interesting to know which stations are low on steps and also those stations that are step-free in one direction.

As well as the number of step-free stations, TfL also measure the “average additional journey time needed to make step-free journeys”, which I believe takes into account the volumes of different types of journeys, and so is arguably more reflective of the actual impact of each new step-free station.

The Mayor has a target to reduce this by 50% by 2041 (though I’m not clear what the baseline is).

No idea exactly how they calculate it though!

What happens at Finchley Central - doses the shuttle train arrive on the same platform as London-bound trains so as to allow passengers to make an easy interchange? Genuine direction, I'm not sure of the arrangement there.

This is precisely what London Travelwatch advised the previous Mayor NOT to do. 🙄

I hadn't seen this before...

Can you do a rider-adjusted calculation? It might be ~30% of stations but ~15% by station-use.

there's also the question of Conversion Cost per Passenger. i remember when TfL unveiled the incline lift at Greenford they hailed it as a cheaper way of bringing step free access to certain stations. so presumably the cost per passenger for that conversion was ok. presumably it's not ok for some of the other "red" stations though.

Harrow-on-the-Hill is step free? That's news to me!
They've been promising it for ages, but as of last week work hasn't begun. I'll believe it when I see it.

At Finchley Central the shuttle has its easy cross-platform interchange with the northbound High Barnet line. To continue into town requires going up the lift and over the bridge, then to make it harder the lift on the southbound platform is outside the ticket barriers.

There's a load of new housing being built on the old army barracks site across the road from Mill Hill East. It's possible that the developers might have contributed to installing the lift.

I wonder whether the decisions are made on the basis of ridership, additional JT or actual data regarding how many mobility-impaired people live near a particular station...
