If you\u2019re going underground in London, chances are you\u2019re going to have to ride a long ol\u2019 escalator to get there.\u00a0Eighty-nine Underground stations\u00a0have escalators managed by TfL, but which\u00a0station has the most?<\/p>\n
Thanks to a new Freedom of Information request (FOI), we now have the answer. London\u2019s tube station with the most escalators is… Bank\/Monument<\/strong>. Are we that surprised? This labyrinthine station has a mega 35 escalators (if you count its four travelators, which the person who answered the FOI did).\u00a0<\/p>\n In second place was Waterloo<\/strong>, another maze-like station with five entrances and a whopping 26 escalators (again, including two travelators).\u00a0Waterloo had\u00a0escalators 14 before the Jubilee line arrived in 1999, when it got bumped up to 24.\u00a0<\/p>\n Liverpool Street<\/strong> has the third moving staircases, with a grand total of 24. According to travel blogger Diamond Geezer<\/a>, this tally includes six escalators on the Moorgate side of the station. Livvy Street had only nine escalators before the arrival of the Lizzie Line, which added nine more.\u00a0<\/p>\n The 10 London stations with the most escalators<\/p>\n
