TWENTY-SEVEN STATIONS WITH LIFTS

INSTEAD OF ESCALATORS

The invention of the escalator represented a major advance on the passenger lift in that it allowed for a free flow of passengers – just think of the queues waiting to exit Covent Garden on the run-up to Christmas. It could also be left unattended and, in the event of a breakdown, function as an emergency staircase. Because of this, relatively few stations have resisted the temptation to switch from one to the other. These are:

Belsize Park

Borough

Caledonian Road

Chalk Farm

Covent Garden

East Ham

Edgware Road

Elephant & Castle

Finchley Central

Fulham Broadway

Gloucester Road

Goodge Street

Hampstead

Hillingdon

Holloway Road

Kennington

Kilburn

Lambeth North

Lancaster Gate

Morden

Mornington Crescent

Regents Park

Russell Square

Tufnell Park

Wembley Park
