Maybe, but I was comparing the situation in a typical office building,
say, where lifts are not available in a fire, with the situation in a
tube *train* (not station) where there is neither refuge nor fireproof
lift.

The lift at Bermondsey is a firefighting lift.

As may be - but it goes to the *station*, and Richard J is thinking of
the situation within a tube *train*. There are no lifts in a train, and
precious few ways of getting out of one in a tunnel in an emergency.
Except, of course, on those lines which are not technically "tube"
lines.
