I saw this video of an athlete racing the tube between two London stations on facebook/youtube and found it remarkable:



Then I saw this video of a disabled athlete trying to do the same thing, and I think it is even more relevant...

Very interesting. It's weird as I actually worked on the street with Mansion House tube station in my first job after I left uni and I used to do that walk daily from Cannon Street station. I wouldn't have thought it was possible to run that distance that quickly! I think in rush hour he wouldn't stand a chance. :D

I don't drive a car so I use public transport quite a lot and have noticed that the wheelchair access at stations seems very shitty.
ETA hopefully, they are trying to improve access.
