Then, off to the topic, things I find it so challenging, especially in Tky.
Lack of Elevator/escalator at some major train stations (even till this day, there are stations without elevator/escalator due to a limited space). When I am carrying heavy/bulky luggage, I don't want to be carrying these up/down the stairs. But, either Elevator is concealed (can't find it!!) or located at faaaaaar end of the platform or super inconvenient location from where you exit the train, it just a pain to locate elevator/escalator.
This one I may be able to help with actually. At each end of the platform in the station where you board the train is a map showing each station and where on the train you should board to alight directly in front of either an escalator to your exit or the station elevator. You position yourself on your departing platform so as to board at the point from which you should disembark at your destination. The cars are numbered and those are reflected on signs on the platform. All quite Japanese actually. :-)
