Marina Ahmad AM welcomes introduction of mini ramps to London Bridge Underground Station

Marina Ahmad AM has welcomed the introduction of mini ramps to London Bridge Underground Station, as part of Transport for London’s investments to make the station more accessible to passengers with disabilities.

The investments are part of TfL’s Equity in Motion plan which is designed to support the aims of the Mayor's Transport Strategy. It sets out a series of actions to address inequality and ensures that Londoners can travel safely and with the ability to “turn up and go” rather than needing to plan excessively, despite existing barriers to travel for some passengers.

Marina Ahmad AM, London Assembly Member for Lambeth and Southwark, said: “Thank you to TfL for listening to passengers across Southwark.

“I welcome the new mini ramps at London Bridge Underground Station and I am happy to see greater equity for passenger service to ensure that all Londoners can get around on our amazing public transport network.

“I hope this is adopted in even more stations across London. I want to see this positive change continue across our city and will lobby TfL to install these ramps everywhere they can.”

Following customer feedback, the new mini ramps will cover the remaining gap between the train and the platform to make it easier for passengers who use mobility aids to board and alight the service.
