Summary

Disabled activists flood Glasgow’s Kelvinbridge Subway station to demand urgent accessibility upgrades, slamming the network’s century-old infrastructure for forcing wheelchair users to risk dangerous stair climbs — even as a $288 million modernization effort rolls on. Blind commuters add their voice, warning of perilous cane navigation and highlighting how new platform doors at some stations still leave others dangerously bare. SPT admits technical hurdles at stations with single island platforms, but vows to push forward — with lift feasibility studies underway at Buchanan Street and Hillhead — while pledging safety remains their top priority.
