Going Down......
 

I realised this morning that my journey to work from home involves
nothing but stairs going down! At Clapham North Station, which I used
this morning, there are 72 stairs, or so the station notices allege. I
then changed at Bank to the DLR, also involving two flights of stairs
going down. I got off the DLR at East India - two more flights of
stairs going down! Next time I go that way I must count them all and
see how many steps I actually go down.....

Anybody else have a journey that is either "all downstairs" or "all
upstairs" (one journey I occasionally do, between Herne Hill & Streatham
on the Thameslink is stairs up in both directions Southbound).

District line from West Ham to Temple is all upstairs. West Ham to
Holborn is also all upstairs (cross platform change at Mile End to
central line). Those sorts of changes would make a large number of
stations possible to get to going all upstairs because if you can get
into the system going upstairs it's relatively easy to get out of it
going upstairs.

Slightly off topic.. but there is only ONE tube station on the map, where
after going through the ticket barriers, you go UP an escaltor to get to
platform/train level!

Care to have a guess anyone?

Presumably you mean up *only* because there are several where you pass
through the ticket gates and go up an escalator and then down again.

Putney Bridge? (It's upstairs, I can't remember if it has an escalator).

The pre-JLE answer was Greenford, but I'm not sure if West Ham, Canning Town
or Stratford might qualify too.

Stratford has stairs or lift to go from the ticket barrier to the
high level station (where the central and nation rail bits are); it also
has escalaror up to either side of the bridge over the NLL (with
stairs or a lift also provided).
