The young staff manning the recent Heathrow Airport Expansion Display on Ealing Common were surprised that although the Elizabeth Line had step free access to the trains the stations' forecourts at Ealing Broadway and West Ealing had no facility to pick-up and drop-off the disabled, those with luggage, pushchairs and the walking elderly. This is contrary to the British Standard for the design for station forecourts for access for the disabled.

Only two Tube stations have step-free access in Ealing. One Acton town has a lift that cannot be used to drop off passengers illegally because LBE have a CCTV camera operating there. This generated fines for drivers who try to drop off passengers who have difficulty with stairs.
Ealing's transport portfolio holder and senior officer assume that they might never get old like Peter Pan and need some help to be able to access our trains. I have written to Rt Hon Nusrat Ghani MP Accessibility Minister just  10 days ago complaining of this stupidity. The other body who might help are Transport for London who have a party in Dean Gardens this Saturday 20th July. The focus of this is to spend large amounts of dosh to improve the park but wasn't large amounts spent on it recently when it was out of action for 9 months. Perhaps they are Peter Pan-like too. Certainly they are like Nero hoping to feed cyclists to lorries and buses down the Uxbridge Road; another numptie idea.
And all this electronic parking stuff ..all designed for the young. Now with libraries under threat
Perhaps now is the time to up sticks and go to Torquay or Eastbourne. Clearly we aren't wanted in Ealing.
