The Wimbleware/Circle combination gives a one-change route between Putney
and King's Cross, avoiding humping child's buggy or heavy luggage up and
down footbridge stairs any more than necessary (can't be avoided at East
Putney). It's pretty reliable for same platform interchange. Can't do that
under new arrangements, and that was true before they started cutting
Wimbledon trains back from Edgware Road to High St to add extra changes
too.

One-change route: Putney - Earls Court - lift - Piccadilly line -

Is that lift available from the District platforms. I seem to recall it
going from the upper (Eastern) concourse.

Kings Cross - [lift from next year

It's two lifts - one up to the barrier level, then the current lift to
the surface (outdoors, far from the station). Or they are also putting
in a "three lifts" solution - an extra one between the barrier level and
concourse, then a choice of lifts to various points at ground level.
