Odd that the press release was today then - soft launch or just wanting some good news on a strike day?

Good that more stations are being made step-free. Inevitably and unfortunately, very few in zone 1.
It's not just disabled people who need the facility, but also elderly, parents with buggies, and people with heavy luggage.

It's not just disabled people who need the facility, but also elderly, parents with buggies, and people with heavy luggage. Crossrail will be a big boost to step-free access in Zone 1 when it finally opens, and various other schemes are coming. For example the Bakerloo line ticket hall redevelopment at Paddington and the upgrade at Holborn and Victoria has recently completed. With a limited pot of money though, its right that the benefits should not be solely concentrated in one area.
