I find it quite shocking that Blacks have just undergone a major refit and ignoring any access for wheelchair users and people with buggies.
For Clapham Junction station, it is brilliant to have lift access to all platforms and this has transformed wheelchair users in accessing rail transport. It is equally illogical that there is no information for wheelchair users or people with buggies or heavy luggage to go to Brighton Yard for step-free access.
The only downside of using Brighton Yard entrance is to go up St John’s Hill over a cobbled-stone pathway. Cobble-stones present another problem for wheelchair users.
UPDATE 23/02/14: We have received the following tweet from Blacks:
@c_j_a_g @SW_Trains Hello, a ramp is available upon request, but it is something we are including into new shop fits going forward.
