...... the subway from Earls Court station directly into Earls Court
Exhibition Hall. Is there a reason why the direct
subway from the station is no longer used?.....

The Exhibition hall may have moved their "cordon" to somewhere 'outside'
wherever that tunnel emerges.

It's all a question of money. I worked at Earls Court station around
four years ago and at that time the management of Earls Court
exhibition centre were refusing to pay for the staff required to run
the subway when needed. LU refused as well so the subway has been
closed for about five years now. The escalators were switched on every
weekend as per station instructions and one a month Otis would send
engineers along to clean them, they had a long maintenance contract to
keep up.

Thanks for the replies, Earls Court Arena will be used for some
Olympic events, maybe they will open the subway then!.
Afterward it seem that the site mayl be demolished for apartments.

Is nothing sacred? Where will the Royal Tournament be held?

It's not pedantic to expect British English on a uk.* newsgroup. Anyway
there's no freeway/motorway in Earl's Court, so your comment doesn't
make a lot of sense.
