在伦敦桥票屏障中受伤的祖父要求赔偿,因为TfL否认责任。
Grandfather injured by London Bridge ticket barrier seeks compensation as TfL denies liability.
去年8月,祖父Mike Rigby在伦敦大桥站受伤,当时他的手被困在门票屏障和行李之间。
Grandfather Mike Rigby was injured at London Bridge station last August when his hand was trapped between a ticket barrier and his luggage.
Transport for London (TfL)尽管要求赔偿1 000英镑, 却以“合理的检查和维护制度”为由否认责任。
Despite seeking £1,000 in compensation, Transport for London (TfL) denied liability, citing a "reasonable system of inspection and maintenance."
Rigby辩称,宽阔的过道大门被堵住,存在一个更广泛的问题,存在以过度武力封闭的障碍。
Rigby argues that the wide aisle gate was blocked and there is a wider issue with barriers closing with excessive force.
数据显示,过去五年里,TfL站有25项门票屏障工伤索赔,伦敦桥有2项。
Data shows 25 compensation claims for ticket barrier injuries at TfL stations over the past five years, with two at London Bridge.
