1. Not true Fuming - there is nothing wrong with the topology - the Victorians managed it.

I accept that today they would probably have to remove WHSmith's extension to provide a nicely sloped ramp, so the better option as repeatedly pointed out by more than one poster would be to install a lift.

2. Not true Sherwood - there is a double set of concrete stairs leading to platform 2. You clearly have never visited the Perry Vale side of the station, but thanks for your contribution anyway.

My expectations quite reasonably remain that a busy subway like this in the middle of the 'town' should be fully accessible to everyone.
