davros.org lists Marble Arch as having a fixed stairway.

That confirms my recollection (a stairway alongside one of the
escalators, but not at the same angle so it's succession of half a
dozen steps, landing etc)

Which I assume
is why it isn't on the geofftech page as accessible only be escalator.

It's not on his list of "with steps", on the other hand neither is it
on the list of "only escalators". As we can probably agree it doesn't
have lifts, that's where the Venn-foo I mentioned comes in.

Maybe the list you need is the inverse of the "only escalator" one
(assuming lifts are either OK, or always accompanied by stairs).

Does this distinguish cases where lifts and/or escalators cover the
entire route from street to platforms from the commoner situation where
there is at lest one flight of steps to negotiate as well as lifts and/or
escalators.

As a regular traveller in London, perhaps you can reverse engineer
the website's methodology (given that they don't state it explicitly,
but we've discussed some of the parameters here).

I'm not a regular or comprehensive enough user. The roundabout trip from
Heathrow to King's Cross on January 5th involved the Central-Victoria
interchange at Oxford Circus. I had no idea of the number of stairs and
feared the worst. In fact there was just one flight between the platforms.

Since then I've only used the bicycle.
