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.

The Piccadilly lifts are the original ones, before the escalators were
installed. I presume they have been refurbished over time, though.
