I visited this outer London station on Tuesday - before Boris's fares
and improvement budget announcement on Thursday.

I was surprised to see a wood-slatted up escalator. I would have thought
all these have gone since the King's Cross fire.

Marylebone still had one as late as about 2004, though I recall it's
gone now. It was a bit of a shame to see it go, really, as it had
character. I assume it must have been treated in some way to reduce
the fire risk, though I suppose the top of it opened out into the
mainline station so the same sort of fire had less risk of occurring.
