It's all a question of money. I worked at Earls Court station around
four years ago and at that time the management of Earls Court
exhibition centre were refusing to pay for the staff required to run
the subway when needed. LU refused as well so the subway has been
closed for about five years now. The escalators were switched on every
weekend as per station instructions and one a month Otis would send
engineers along to clean them, they had a long maintenance contract to
keep up.

Thanks for the replies, Earls Court Arena will be used for some
Olympic events, maybe they will open the subway then!.
Afterward it seem that the site may be demolished for apartments.

Really?! I hadn't picked up on that at all...

It's not pedantic to expect British English on a uk.* newsgroup. Anyway
there's no freeway/motorway in Earl's Court, so your comment doesn't
make a lot of sense.

Agreed. However, it's deluded to expect it, and discourteous to
demand it.
