    Very helpful video thank you. When I finally become an architect, I hope to accommodate people with disabilities as much as anyone else in my designs, so your experience is fun and immersive. :D

      May I suggest something? Try a day in a wheelchair. Many problems you experience in a wheelchair your feel more and those can't be observerd so easy.

    I'm a London wheelchair user and OMG THE TURNING CIRCLE ON BUSES. The new routemaster buses are a bit better but most of them either require me to struggle or have my boyfriend to help me

      I know you are trying to be nice, but that just sounds really weird. Why would you LOVE [all] wheelchair users? It sounds a bit patronising. Some people in wheelchairs are a**holes, because they are PEOPLE and some people are a**holes (especially if they are having a bad day).

    You would think by now the authorities would have worked how wide the barrier should be, what the height of the buttons in the lift should be and how to fine taxi drivers for not taking a challanged customer.... But no, they have not worked it out. I wonder how many of the planners get around in wheelchairs???!!!!!

    Note there so far I have seen the wheelchair rider must stay in his chair. He does not get a seat, let us see. I'm not sure my arms will ever be strong enough r man in and out of where I need to go, regardless of hand holes nearby.

    This was pretty good going on what some disabled people face. You should be a bit more grateful. I’ve been to London many times, but I’ve yet to see a wheelchair on the underground. One woman I spoke to briefly said she wouldn’t touch the underground with a barge pole in a wheelchair! Some bits are possible, but it’s just not worth the hassle.

      It's complicated for some underground stops. Some platforms get both subsurface and deep level trains which have different floor heights so the platform height is a compromise for both. Harrington humps would probably work though.
