TUBE stations in Hillingdon and Ealing are among 13 to go step-free as part of a £200m investment by the Mayor of London.
Sadiq Khan confirmed the next stations to be coverted by spring 2022. They include Boston Manor, Hanger Lane, Ickenham, North Ealing, Northolt, Park Royal and Ruislip. Together, the 13 stations experience more than 33 million passenger journeys each year.

The announcement brings the total number of Underground stations identified for step-free access to all platforms to more than 100.
As part of the accessibility programme, a new lift contract has been awarded that can be replicated across many stations.
It delivers the same standards of reliability but at a fraction of the cost and length of time it previously took to design, manufacture and install a lift.
