Is not about parity of esteem or getting fit. Its commonsense. Lifts are a great idea and the issue of vandalism is an entirely different issue altogether. All new stations that I'm seeing built, have lifts. Even other station upgrades are getting lifts. Sallins isn't and its obvious that its down to budgets. Hardly fair.

Sallins does have level platform access already on both sides.

Makes no difference to the point I'm making. It was tokenism, cheap and lazy. Real 1990s thinking. Getting in on one side is easy. 9depending on where you are going) Getting out is the difficult bit as you have to negociate a steep road bridge. Yes ramps make things easier, but not for all passengers.
