    By legislation, yes.  By need, not necessarily.  Millions of dollars "in case"  it is required.

    Wrong. Wheelchair uses are people as well. I'm sick and tired of hearing this argument about not needing it. Of course it needs it and disabled have a right to go to every station able bodied people can go. So get over it and stop talking about hindering the development of disabled access.

    This is one area that none of you on here can come close to my experience on. My whole life I have had to deal with access for my father and uncles who are disabled. Not only that with my own back problems I would prefer to have a lift then a set of stairs to use. It is also so much easier for mothers with prams.

    Every station needs a lift. There ain't no if's or buts.
