I'm answering a question you haven't quite answered! Obviously the
crew can just go down the staircase - however, as I intimate, it's
the oodles of kit that's the issue!

Still, perhaps Warner Bros might want to shoot some scenes for the
forthcoming money-is-no-object Harry Potter feature films down there,
with LU wangling a free lift replacement out of them...

I've seen pictures of film people carrying sections of camera track
down the stairs. How you get something like a camera dolly or a HMI
lamp ballast down there I don't know. The lift cars which were in use
at the time of the closure were fixed in position in the shaft; I
think the machinary is still in place. Aren't there two other shafts
which never had lifts installed in them? Maybe for a large shoot with
lots of equipment they could rig up a builders hoist in one of those.
Or maybe they only use it for small shoots with limited equipment, and
they do carry it all down the stairs.

Can't equipement be taken to platform level by train?
