Default What to see on the tube

Annabel Smyth:
What happened to those [Finsbury Park] lifts...?


Roland Perry:
Taken out a very long time ago ... Perhaps they didn't have the
required capacity ...


"Kev":
They were the last hydraulic lifts on the system.

(I'd better qualify that - the last 'proper' hydraulic lifts, as
opposed to some modern electro-hydraulic installations on the DLR).


Okay, what's the distinction here? How does a "proper" hydraulic one work?
