At embankment station, there's a room behind/under the down escalator
leading to the northbound northern line platform .There's victorian
tiling on the right hand wall as you look in from the foot of the
escalator; why?


Surely there's Victorian tiling in all (most) underground stations,
undernath all of the modern **** that stuck on top

But the Victorians didn't have escalators, so why would there have
been a passageway in that particular location? Its parallel and next
to the passage between the bakerloo line and the northbound northern
line platforms, so it doesn't seem to be purposeful.
