Some step-free projects planned for the Tube could be delayed or cancelled due to a lack of funds, Transport for London has said.The body said its current "funding situation" had affected progress with step-free schemes and "external funding will be critical" to carry out more.Two-thirds of respondents to a recent TfL consultation said they would use the Tube more if the number of step-free stations increased.
Trials of a new "bridging device" at eight Jubilee line stations to help wheelchair users on and off trains have also been launched.
