They were chosen to reduce journey times for people who need step-free access, TfL said.More than a third of the 272 London Underground stations have lifts for step-free access.TfL said that the 10 stations were chosen based on feedback from accessibility campaigners and its 2021 consultation.It estimated that the first of the stations could be step-free by 2026.
Funding for the projects needs to be secured, and TfL could match investment funding from partners, it said. Andy Lord, London's transport commissioner, said: "We're working with partners to fund even more step-free access at Tube stations. "These stations are a key part of these plans to create a more accessible public transport network that benefits everyone."
