Default Stupid Sign in Pearse Station...

Has anyone ever noticed on P1 in Pearse there's a large sign above the staircase which takes you under the tracks. The sign directs people to P2 & P3 but also to the toilets. The problem is that the friggin toilet symbol has male/female/wheelchair!! How the hell is someone in a wheelchair or otherwise disabled supposed to get to the jax when they have to descend and ascend a two flights of stairs??

Not sure if there's another sign somewhere on P1 which directs wheelchair users to the toilets via the ramp and lift but this one is taking the p!ss out of disabled people, albeit unintentionally I'm sure.

Plus, when the wheelchair eventually makes it to said toilets, they'll find a sign on the door telling them to request the key from the ticket office. If a wheelchair user had trekked all the way over from P1, then had to go back down to request the key, they might be a little irked.
