Has the lift on the District southbound at West Brompton gone in yet?


I didn't know that this was happening, but I did see a lost
of scaffolding when I last passed there a few weeks ago.


Hmmm. According to
http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acro...ftla_a.html#WB

"In May 1999, London Transport stated that a lift providing step-free access
to the southbound District Line platform would be provided during 1999 (see
below)
In February 2000, London Underground stated that a new 3-year multi-station
plan included "better facilities for the disabled" at this station
In September 2001, a Transport for London source stated that work would
start by the end of 2001"

According to

work hasn't been done yet.

That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line -
It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes
