on Mon, 14 Jan 2013, remarked:
davros.org lists Marble Arch as having a fixed stairway.


That confirms my recollection (a stairway alongside one of the
escalators, but not at the same angle so it's succession of half a
dozen steps, landing etc)

Which I assume
is why it isn't on the geofftech page as accessible only be escalator.


It's not on his list of "with steps", on the other hand neither is it
on the list of "only escalators". As we can probably agree it doesn't
have lifts, that's where the Venn-foo I mentioned comes in.

Maybe the list you need is the inverse of the "only escalator" one
(assuming lifts are either OK, or always accompanied by stairs).


Does this distinguish cases where lifts and/or escalators cover the entire
route from street to platforms from the commoner situation where there is at
lest one flight of steps to negotiate as well as lifts and/or escalators.


As a regular traveller in London, perhaps you can reverse engineer the
website's methodology (given that they don't state it explicitly, but
we've discussed some of the parameters here).
