Perhaps other railway stations on the Southeastern network in Kent and East Sussex that aren’t step-free could be upgraded to have lifts installed or ramps installed to make the station more step-free friendly stations.
If there was money available, they would. Unfortunately there isn’t as we try to extricate ourselves from the last decade and a half of financial misrule
Perhaps you’re right. But I still think that Southeastern should still upgrade some station which aren’t step-free to make those stations step-free friendly. Whether if they do get more money to improve their stations on their network in Kent.
