Which has the collateral impact that the station building itself
will have to be moved (once again, see Angel).

Or not as in Caledonian Road and Holloway Road.

They had escalators added, but retained the original station building?

What happened at Mornington Crescent? That still has lifts, doesn't
it?

And escalators?

My point was that all three stations remain lifts (and emergency stairs)
only.

OK, so not a station that's busy enough to require escalators
(something which was suggested might be the case at a reopened York Road).

I think Caledonian Road could be as busy but they do their best to divert
Emirates Stadium traffic elsewhere.

Just because Holloway Road has grandfather rights does not prove that a
"brand new" lift-only station at York Way with the same amount of
traffic would be allowed.

That would be Holloway Road. LU diverts people to Highbury and
Islington and Finsbury Park during Arsenal matches.

Yes, got them the wrong way round. sorry.
