My friend has just texted me to ask a question. She asks “In Coronation Street how do they get Paul up the stairs to the flat in a wheel chair?” I’m thinking there was some kind of alteration to help but I might be imagining it. Obviously he has to be carried but I suggested that if anyone could help it would be Gransnetters. Thank you everyone we await your superior input.

They had a stair lift fitted. Don’t know how they get his wheelchair upstairs though, electric ones are heavy.

I thought they fitted a stair lift thingy didn’t they? didn’t mister ‘burn his workshop down’ do it

Thank you so much. I thought they had to do something but couldn’t remember what. I suppose as they can fit umpteen people in their houses a small problem like the weight of an electric wheel chair wouldn’t phase them.

You are right BlueBell . Thank you so much. My friend can now sleep without the problem worrying her.

It has not been worked out properly. I possess a stairlift and know it would be impossible to take a heavy unfoldable wheelchair up and down it.

Ed fitted a stairlift. Lots of glaring omissions on Corrie these days.

You are right. I could have done. Not thinking straight.

My dh has said the chair would be left downstairs but not sure there would be room.

Paul has two wheelchairs - the big electric one is for outside and it stays at the bottom of the stairs in a lobby. They had to have the doorway altered to accommodate it. He then has a stairlift to get upstairs, where he has a smaller indoor wheelchair to use in the flat.
And I'm ashamed of myself for knowing all this!

I imagine there's a porch at the bottom in which the electric wheelchair is left...
So I think you' re right, Bobblesack...

That solves the mystery completely. Well done. Thank you and don’t be ashamed for knowing the details. I must have watched the same as you but just forgot completely.
