Default Daily Telegraph: 150 fascinating Tube facts

28.The station with the most escalators is Waterloo with 23.


I wonder how that's counted, for example there are two which are
arguably part of the National Rail station, plus another two very close
by, that used to travel up to the Eurostar Concourse.

58. The total number of lifts on the Underground, including four stair
lifts, is 164.


Same question really. How many of the lifts at Kings Cross/St Pancras
are deemed to be "On The Underground" and how many are part of the
National Rail infrastructure.


Simple, who owns them, who pays to clean them, who pays to repair them.
There's nothing arbitrary about this.

But do he people counting them (for press articles like this) use that
criteria?
