Evidence reviewed and found consistent. Not a claim of complete truth.
WHAT WOULD CHANGE THIS STATUS?
At least one step-free routing proposal backed by an accessibility audit would move this to Solution Proposed. A survey showing the existing lifts already meet the route requirement would reopen the verification.
Every record states in advance what evidence would move it. A status is a current reading of the evidence, not a verdict.
Local context
Wheelchair users report that published step-free routes do not match the built reality at two platform links.
Who is affected: Daily step-free travellers through the interchange (synthetic).
