I think one thing that we all agree on is that what London needs is seven or eight sets of Primorsky Stair replicas, but where should they go?

Given the absence of "OT" I assume you envisage TfL operating inclined
lifts to the sides of the stairs for accessibility :)) And nice
convergence with Greenford thread :)

Eisenstein could give way to Einstein and we could have some relativity
stairs, along Escher's lines:

With a pram shop at the top and a children's hospital at the bottom.

Why not have just one set of fake replica Primorsky Stairs, which could
be moved between seven or eight places whenever Boris passes so that it
looks like London has lot of Primorsky Stair replicas?

Anyway, Platform 4 at West Croydon station could do with some steps
direct to the tram stop.

Staircases are on topic. Unless they're in Cambridge, obviously.

I'm now wondering how many deep tube stations with multiple vertical
lifts for MIPs could have got away with fewer sloping lifts, suitably
placed and suitably angled. But I suppose drilling a diagonal lift shaft
is probably dearer than drilling two or three vertical lift shafts.

very sensible idea, unlikely to be taken up though I imagine.

There already is an exit on platform 4 next to the tram stop?

But not right to it, not as obvious as it could be, and it always seems
to be locked on an evening (and weekends?) when I might want to use it.
