Step-Free Access Between Train And Platform On The Elizabeth Line
Any new railway with new trains, should have step-free access train and platform.
I know that this has not always happened in the last few years, but how does the Elizabeth Line match up.
I’ve taken these pictures in the last couple of days.
On this evidence, it certainly seems that the access between train and platform is step-free, between at least Woolwich and Paddington stations.

Maybe you should try getting off at Ealing Broadway eastbound. That’s a different ball game entirely. For the new stations, step free is the reality. For the older stations, it is not.

I was intending to check them out. Thanks for the info.
If Liverpool and East Anglia can get level access, so can Crossrail.

Apparently there is one station (can’t remember which) where one carriage (or door) of the Elizabeth line train has a door disabled by selective door opening software because the carriage is on a curve and the resulting gap is too larger for step free (potentially unsafe for any)

Yes. Platform 12 at Paddington.

When the Lizzie Line is fully open, this platform won’t be used.

[…] Compare these steps of a few inches, with those I showed in Step-Free Access Between Train And Platform On The Elizabeth Line. […]
