Hi,

As subject line read just wondeirng what the deepest escalotor is on the
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.
