Ongoing work at Finchley Central
 

Hi,

I travel from Finchley Central to Moorgate each morning and I am
curious as to what they are doing along at the top of the bank near
the station entrance at Finchley Central. They seem to have been
working on it for months but as I pass through as quick as possible at
that time in the morning (or on the way home for that matter) not
realy had a chance to stop and ask what they are doing.

Also on the nothbound platform they have taken away the old steps
going up to the bridge that had been blocked off, but they seem to be
doing more than just taking them away.

Thanks
Andy

I'm in a similar boat (except I arrive at Finchley in the morning).

I guess it it to install a MIP lift for access to the southbound
platform...

.... and this is to install a MIP lift to access the northbound platforms.

It is to provide mobility impaired lifts. These are contracted works as
part of the PPP. The same type of work is being done at Golders Green
and Hendon Central on the Northern Line.

You mean, step free access (SFA) lifts, don't you? ;-)

Well, going through KX the other day there's a "MIP 3" (according to the
sign above it) lift up to street level from the circulating area at the top
of the escalators. So unless the ITB have changed the current "flavour of
the month" designation since KX was remodeled, Mobility Impaired works for
me...

Cheers, Steve.

There's an ongoing 'discussion' regarding these signs...

That lift used by my daughter with my granddaughter in a buggy recently.
