London Mayor Sadiq Khan has pledged £200m to creating step-free access the Tube over the next five years.
The mayor confirmed the move would take the number of accessible stations above 100 for the first time, with about 30 stations getting new lifts.
The first two stations – Harrow on the Hill on the Metropolitan line and Newbury Park on the Central line – have been confirmed, with building work brought forward to 2017.
This is in addition to larger stations such as Bond Street, Tottenham Court Road and Victoria becoming step-free the same year.
