I visited this outer London station on Tuesday - before Boris's fares
and improvement budget announcement on Thursday.

I was surprised to see a wood-slatted up escalator. I would have
thought all these have gone since the King's Cross fire.

Hoarding hid the down escalator. The Station Supervisor told me a
lift was being put in for step-free access.

I've only been there a couple of times, but I don't remember there
being a down escalator - wasn't there only ever one escalator
there?

Clive Feather's site lists two staircases and one escalator.
However, various photos show that the escalator is numbered '3',
and in the photo at
http://www.flickr.com/photos/51035804249@N01/6152259 the adjacent
staircase is numbered '2' and looks as if it has been adapted from
a former escalator shaft. So perhaps there were originally 3
escalators.

Provision for 3 maybe but there has only ever been one.
