A map of stations in Southampton, and in which direction the platforms are accessible. As a disabled person, or someone with a pram, using the local train network is currently far too compliacted and indirect. You can only board some stations in one direction, and exit others in the other. Some stations are entirely off limits. Some of these issues are hard to solve, others easy. Opening up the opposite platform for access isn't just good for disabled people, it can put local stations within walking distance for more residents.
Here's a map of station accessibility in the #Southampton area, created both as a guide for people with accessibility needs, and as a demonstration as to how ridiculous the situation is. For some stations, making the opposite platform accessible is as simple as putting a hole in a fence!
