This is a new site launched by London Undergound which might be of interest to London visitors<BR><BR>www.thetube.com/guru<BR><BR>It has a clickable link on each station giving information about the station and its area.

Chas,<BR>Thanks for the link. I've been on www.thetube.com before, but never came across the Guru area. One thing I wish it mentioned was if a station has escalators or not - I know most do, but last time we were there and encountered one (can't remember which one) that had lifts only. I am sometimes a bit claustrophobic in elevators, so I would like to have this information ahead of time. <BR><BR>By the way, does anyone know which station does not have escalators?<BR>

Covent Garden and Goodge Street are two that have lifts.

Hi Buffy<BR>Russell Square station is another one that uses lifts, no escalators.<BR>Happy Travels<BR>Rick

The deep stations are closed if the firemen are on strike. (Industrial action as they call it).<BR><BR>Londoners probably know where the deep stations are. I think Angel is deep. So is Gloucester Road (only the Picadilly line portion). I think Bayswater is deep but not nearby Queensway (or maybe the reverse).

hi buffy888,<BR><BR>I can't help but giggle at your post. I am the exact opposite. I wish more had elevators because I am scared to death of down escalators and high steep stairs. I think it is victoria station that has the 3 story high escalator with the set of stairs in between. all my friends got on going down and I froze. so i did what I thought was the next best thing and walked down the middle only to have a vertigo attack about halfway down. my idiot friend took pictures of the whole thing (I could have killed her).<BR><BR>I love the stations with the lifts. <BR><BR>surprisingly, i have no problem going up an escalator.<BR><BR>

whatever else you do just be sure to &quot;mind the gap&quot;
