accessable? If so are there any restictions? Thanks

Hi Al, I'm not from Toronto, but I did visit there this winter. My
friend and I rode the subway quite a lot. All I can remember of them was
that there were an awful lot of stairs and esclators. I do recall seeing
elevators in most of the larger stations, however there seem to be a few
that are accessable only from stairwells leading down from the street. The
trains themselves appeared to be spacious enough for a wheelchair so long as
your's isn't the sort where your legs are straight, and in front of you. ( I
had a friend with CP once who's leggs were held in such a position).
I have to admitt though, that while on my holiday, and being a STANDEE
I wasn't paying close attention to the accessability. An easy answer
would be to just call up the Toronto Transit system and ask.
