Incdentally, you can find the answers to all such facts extremely easily,
just with a simple Google search.


If you can find the deepest platform below sea level I'll be very
impressed (not counting our discussion here last month).

The answer was in the link on the post that you replied to, kind of proving
my point ....

Hampstead. Because the ground there is very high.

The general topic of "deepest below sea level" was also debated about a
month ago. I'm not sure we came to a definite conclusion, but it could
be Westminster-Jubilee, or if you count the DLR, perhaps Cutty Sark.
It's definitely not Waterloo, although the deepest *line* (below sea
level) is near there.

I guess all 3 would be an interesting piece of information to know.

The height of the longest escalator would be interesting too.


Then you may be interested in Clive's comprehensive treatment of the
subject:
