Describe the problem
The current specifying on the
wheelchair boarding
says that:Unfortunately it isn't possible to specify that it is possible for wheelchairs to change trains even if it is not possible for wheelchairs to get out of the station.
I would need a way to specify the wheelchair accessibility islands within the station.
Use cases
I want my journey planner to tell wheelchairs to change trains between the platforms of the same direction at Stockwell or Finchley Road.
Proposed solution
Add a field
wheelchair_accessible
inpathways.txt
with the same enum values ofwheelchair_boarding
instops.txt
andwheelchair_accessible
intrips.txt
.wheelchair_accessible
0
(default)If there exists a sequence of pathways where
wheelchair_accessible
all have a value of1
between a pair of platforms, wheelchair interchange between these platforms is possible, even if the platforms have awheelchair_boarding
value of2
