Default Tube station has 86 steps down but only 48 steps up
yped


Mornington Crescent tube station has warning signs at the top and
bottom of the stairs. The sign at the bottom says there are 48 steps
and the sign at the top says there are 86 steps.

Does anybody know why that is?

No.

The tube access Excel sheet I downloaded from TfL does indeed confirm 86
steps down in total.

It states 18, 16 stairs down, then 17, 15 spiral stairs, then 20 stairs.

AIUI, the lift covers the top 66 stairs.
