I have referred a number of times to the poor platform crossings in rural railway stations.

As I was waiting for my train in Charleville last Tuesday morning, I witnessed two elderly people with luggage trying to mount the metal bridge to cross from one platform to the other. I went to their assistance. It is ridiculous in this day and age that lifts cannot be provided in rural railway stations as they are in all the suburban ones.
