I also note that in ABROAD, the FOREIGNS can have some very different ideas[1] about the importance of level access.
[1] Sometimes this comes from a different attitude to disability accommodation generally, vis "We'll give disabled people plenty of money and they can sort it out for themselves" rather than providing accessible services or modifying the physical environment.
At a Belgian station, I asked to use the lift (which was locked), I was told it was for wheel chair users only. I carried my bike up the stairs, behind a woman having 5 men carry her child's pushchair up the stairs... It was a proper new lift, like you'd find in any station, nothing about it seemed specific to a wheel chair.
Having got to the platform, when the train arrived it was 5 steps to get from platform level to the train floor (it was same height as my arm pits when standing on the platform). Which seems to completely defeat the idea of a platform...
It's getting better, EU rules say platforms have to be 550mm (750mm for .NL, 915mm for .UK), but it's slowly getting rolledout[1]
Level access is increasing, but it is far from even majority of cases.

[1] One DB station, they had one contractor do the raising of the platform, and another to adjust the height of the station building doors, only the former did their work long before the later did...
