they were saying :

One concern is the escalators. I have seen signs on some escalators
indicating that dogs need to be carried. As she is 30kg this could be
difficult on a long escalator. I can pick her up when get on and off
but it should be safe to put her down while traveling up.

Like the sign says. Dogs MUST be carried.

(You could always point this out to somebody without a dog and lend him
your Lab for compliance purposes. "Look, mate, I don't want to be awkward,
but it does say you have to carry a dog. And it just so happens I have one
here you can borrow")

Aren't children supposed to be carried aswell. It is going to be
exceedingly difficult to carry a dog under one arm and a child under
the other. Could you find out if Waterloo or any nearby stations have a
fixed emergency staircase or a lift.

Gaffer tape 'em together, then fashion a handle out of tape.

You could point out to any station staff that if you try any carry a
30kg canine you are liable to injury which will mean a lot of extra
work for them. You could suggest they carry the dog for you if they
insist, but I would doubt whether they already have a safety case for
such occasions.
Incidently I have been on the underground in the past with two people
and a full-grown rottweiler. The dog went down the escalators to the
Central Line at Holborn and up from the undeground at Waterloo without
problem.

Doesn't Waterloo have passenger lifts from the Jubilee to street level?
Would it be possible to walk from the Northern to the lift and use that?

I suppose otherwise you could get the Jubilee Line from Finchley Road to
Waterloo (taking the 82 from Finchley Central to Finchley Road)
