Accessibility fail? British railways. The train platforms are not standard to the train heights, so there's often a height difference up to 5 inches. I mentioned this to my brother, a naturalized British citizen, as an example of how Britain is at least twenty years behind the U.S. in handicapped accessibility (and the U.S. isn't great, as this community proves) and he said that it wasn't an issue because they will bring a ramp if requested. So I checked--yes, they will bring a ramp if requested 48 hours in advance. Yeah, that solves that issue. Not.
