Last month I was due to meet my cousin from South Wales at Paddington.
Got to EB station. First time I had used the Elizabeth line. When the train came in I realised I wouldn’t be able to get on it as I couldn’t manage the gap.
Fortunately upon walking up the station I chanced on a member of staff holding a mobile plank for access. He was expecting someone to alight in a wheelchair.
So I stayed with him and thus used it myself to access the train.
At Paddington I realised that in coming back I wouldn’t be able to get off the train. So I took the Circle line changing at Notting Hill Gate onto the Central Line. But it did involve lots of steps that I have difficulty with. In hindsight maybe changing at Bond Street where there is a lift would have been better.
However, given it is only an annual journey I shall use a cab there and back next time,
I understand there is a court case coming up due to a passenger’s injury.
