Hi,

tube.

Depends how you define "deepest escalator". Do you mean:

- height of longest escalator
- deepest top of escalator below ground level
- deepest bottom of escalator below ground level

According to "The London Underground", Oliver Green, Ian Allan, ISBN
0-7110-1720-4, the longest escalator is at Leicester Square on the
Piccadilly Line: 161 ft 6 in (49.6 m) on slope or 80 ft 9 in (24.6 m)
vertical rise.

I thought the longest was at Angel.

The deepest tube station is Hampstead but this has a lift and not an
escalator.

Thanks for the reply

What is the deepest platform below ground level?

I guess al 3 woul dbe an interesting piece of information to know.

The height of the longest escalator would be interesting too.

Incdentally, you can find the answers to all such facts extremely easily,
just with a simple Google search.

Yes, it was published in 1987. I looked to see if I had a more recent book
that gave more up-to-date information, but I hadn't.

I hadn't realised that Angel had taken the record away from Leicester
Square. I know that Angel was remodelled fairly extensively to replace the
very narrow two-faced island platform. Were two separate escalators combined
into one or was the booking office moved further away, requiring a
longer/higher escalator?

I believe the booking office was moved.

Yes. And there was a lift before, not an escalator.

The booking office moved round the corner, but didn't substantially go
"up" or "down". The remodelling replaced a lift with escalators. One
very long one and one shorter one.
