A BBC reporter went out to Stratford Station with a wheelchair user, and found that: The gaps between the platforms and the Tube trains were such that the electric wheelchair needed to be carrier onto the carriage. When the passenger tried to use the accessible lifts with his minder, as he was unable to operate the lift by himself, the lifts refused to close because they were overloaded. With Stratford International station being the flagship accessible entry to the Olympic and Paralympics site, what measure will taken to ensure full accessibility of this flagship station?
