• The Direct Enquiries service enables users to make searches by clicking on any number of 17 logos on the home page representing their needs or disability to ensure the most relevant results. Users then type in a London station, business or service, its location, or both. The details returned in a search on an underground station, for example,include information on the number of steps, lifts, escalators, walking distances and gap width between the platform and the train.

  The site also allows passengers to find out detailed information about all 252 stations, such as whether staff are trained to help with

  improving disabled access, seats, telephones and how many stairs there

  are. And the resource provides detailed text only information on

  interchanges between station platforms as well as street-level access

  information.
