Tube station has 86 steps down but only 48 steps up
"TKD" wrote in :
Mornington Crescent tube station has warning signs at the top and bottom of the stairs. The sign at the bottom says there are 48 steps and the sign at the top says there are 86 steps. Does anybody know why that is? Is the bottom sign located some stairs up from the platform level? It's just there to enable the play of the Asymmetric Winning Manoeuvree |

My last post was wrong. The bottom sign is 20 steps above the platform.
There are three groups of steps: 18, 48 and 20. As Helen says, the lift bypasses the top 66. I still do not understand why the warning signs are the way they are. Perhaps they used two different sign contractors. Or maybe it is a joke in tribute to Willie Rushton (there is a plaque to him at the top of the stairs too). |
