London Underground lags behind other European Capitals in the provision of lifts at it's stations..
BUT, I thought that was whole idea of having low-floor buses everywhere in London .. making a journey on the tube unnecessary..

I think most of us less mobile do use the bus if we want to get into central London, but it can be a long journey and getting across London can take forever by bus. Double deckers of any description can be a nightmare if you are trying to use a busy route.

I don't quite understand why they have started producing these maps.. I'm afraid IMO it's just spin, similar to Tecso saying 'Bread half price at Tesco'.. but only here, here and here..
No, I think it would have been wiser to first of all invest more into lifts and ramps .. some stations only need ramps.. and when more than 33% of the system is fitted out, then publicise it..
But Boris and his men at TfL need to be seen to be doing something.. that's the reasoning behind the launching of the map - All gloss and nowt behind it.. I imagine the annual salary of one the map's designers would have easily paid for the fitting out of a station (if only with some ramps).

Here's Diamond Geezer's take on it As perceptive as ever and I think his recommendation at the end that you use the
Direct enquiries site, (The Nationwide Disabled Access register) is probably better than trying to use this map. It even has photos of the stations.
I agree that its probably a tick box activity to show they are doing something.
