Question about Broad Street
 
I think they may be the three wierd round things that sit outside the
broadgate centre on liverpool street, by UBS.

Question about Broad Street
 
it doesnt make any sense without quoting the original, so Im going to
do that, and repeat my response -

There were two ancient, and long disused, lifts on the concourse

at
Broad Street,

There were also escalators from Broad Street to the Central Line.

Would those lift shafts still be there buried under the new buildings
or were they completely filled in?


I think the lift shafts may be the three wierd round things that sit
outside the
broadgate centre on liverpool street, by UBS.

But what happened to the escalators? are they the ones that are at the
west end of
the platforms that go up to the metropolitan line, or are connected to
that wierd bridge over the eastbound platform at the west end?

No, in both cases. There were separate Liverpool Street and Broad Street
escalators, and the ones you're discussing are all the former.

Question about Broad Street
 
Wasn't that a waste of escalators?
Why have escalators going west from the end of the platforms when you
can just have an extra westward passage at the surface, where the one
they are planning to put in to join up with crossrail is going to be?
Didn't it just cause huge problems at the end of the platform where you
get people leaving and entering from broad street getting in the way of
people trying to go to liverpool street?
I'd have thought that was really bad planning.
