Caroline Pidgeon AM, Leader of the Liberal Democrat London Assembly Group, commenting on the consultation results for Crossrail 2 showing 95% support for the scheme, said:
“It is great news that there is such overwhelming support for this much needed new rail link between south west and north east London.
“However, it is vital that 100% of the public can benefit from this new link, including disabled people and parents with young children. Each and every station on Crossrail 2 must have complete step free access. There can be no ifs or buts on this issue. To fail to provide full access on a new rail link opening in 2030 would simply be shameful.
“It is highly regrettable that even this week the Mayor has failed to provide a total and categorical assurance that every single Crossrail 2 station will definitely have step free access.”
