Be careful what you wish for. The quickest and cheapest way of stopping such accidents would be to have the Elizabeth Line not call there. (I recall a similar proposal when DDA legislation was being mooted, suggesting that a train not be permitted to enter service if the accessible toilet was out of order, until it was pointed out that at remote stabling points like Pwllheli that would mean the cancellation of the train service, preventing everyone, including the disabled, from travelling at all)
Seriously though, it is not just mobility problems that cause the elderly to be more prone to such accidents. Vision can be an issue. I am not particularly old (well, I don't qualify for the national bus pass yet) but can recall missing the bottom step of flights of stairs several times when I was new to bifocal lenses.
