Take the District Line to Earls Court (e/b platform) and
use the new MIP lifts

Google tells me that's a 'mobility impaired person' lift (to save
anyone else looking), but I can't make it tell me how that's different
from any other lift ? Does it just mean that there's stairs as well, so
in theory only MIPs use the lift?

There's a lift at at least one end of the station that can get you from the
ticket hall to the District Line platforms downstairs. I presume it means
the lift is encouraged only for MIPs rather than as the main route down
(which would be silly at such a short distance). Presumably the deep level
ones are similar, though I always thought these were meant for standard use.
