@maegul Massive. Particularly for people with mobility issues (even the good trams aren't as accessible as a train) accessing the hospital.

Including those with kids in prams!

Yea ... and many might not realise, but the entrances and exits to the station, including lifts, are literally right outside the hospital. Like a train and lift will get you straight to the emergency department!

I didn't realise this until I visited the site recently.
