it seems quite likely that if a station such as York Rd
was going to be re-opened that it might be regarded as sensible to
install escalators instead.

Which has the collateral impact that the station building itself will
have to be moved (once again, see Angel).

Or not as in Caledonian Road and Holloway Road.

They had escalators added, but retained the original station building?

What happened at Mornington Crescent? That still has lifts, doesn't it?

And escalators?

My point was that all three stations remain lifts (and emergency stairs)
only.

Just because Holloway Road has grandfather rights does not prove that a
"brand new" lift-only station at York Way with the same amount of
traffic would be allowed.
