LONDON (KGO) -- A London man is using a viral video to raise awareness about handicap access to the city's famous Tube stations.

Anthony Ince, 43, illustrated the problem by racing the subway train from one station to the next in a wheelchair.

Watch Ince's video:

He comes extremely close to beating the train, completing the route in less than a minute and a half but it stopped by a flight of stairs leading to the platform at the end.

Only a quarter of London's Tube stations have been adapted for wheelchair access.

Despite his frustration, Ince says he had fun making the short film.
