Can anyone think of any tube stations where the platforms lead directly out
onto the street without any lifts/steps/escalators? The only ones I can think
of are Woodside Park, Epping and Kew Gardens. I'm sure there must be lots more
that I've not been to.

Olympia is certainly stepless from the District line and the northbound
Overground, I think it's also stepless from the southbound platform too.



Sudbury Town.


Another is Uxbridge.

Sudbury Town has a gateline to each platform leading directly from the
street\alleyway while at Uxbridge being a terminus the gateline is at the
end of all the platforms.


There are others such as North Ealing and North Acton with a street\alleyway
level gateline to one platform but where access to the other platform
is by means of a footbridge.


There's a map and accompanying details here.

http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloa...-guide-map.pdf

According to the map neither North Acton nor North Ealing qualify in any respect.
Maybe on account of the footbridge access to one platform; or because my memeory
is playing me tricks; or because of rebuilding or remodelling in the last few years.
