As someone who regularly makes use of ramps and lifts when taking my kid/s
on the train in a pram, may I just express the view that ramps are MUCH more
convenient than lifts to me. With lifts you invariably have to wait, and too
often have to squeeze in with perfectly able-bodied but lazy people. And
ramps don't break down :)

Anybody confined to a wheelchair care to comment on lifts vs ramps?
