I don't think the list of possible routes through the station on the District line (given in the text) is complete. I know you can at least go West Brompton <-> Gloucester Road. Kevin Judson 11:09, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Yes, and theoretically there were Edgware Road - Olympia services at some point - the signs still exist at paddington. I never saw a service doing that route though. Any train venturing north of HighStreetKen must be one with red doors. The wimbledon branch has both red door trains wimbledon-edgware road (Wimbleware line), and White door Wimbledon-Tower Hill/stations-to-Upminster. Trains from West Kensington are always white-door ones going to Tower Hill and beyond - except for engineering works where they terminate on platforms 3 and 4 of HighStreetKen, and very early in the morning White-door trains start form HighStreetKen and head to Richmond/Ealing. Late at night these same trains also go to HighStreetKen. 82.70.146.238 16:57, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

The story about the man with the wooden leg is an urban myth - he may have used the escalator but was not paid by the Underground company to ride it for a week. Christian Wolmar,author of The Subterranean Railway.

[edit] Escalators

When were escalators introduced? This article seems light on dates. --Tagishsimon (talk)

[edit] Timetable

I've removed the timetable, as Wikipedia is not a directory (or timetable, travel guide, etc. If there's any problems with it, feel free to discuss them here. — alex.muller (talkpage • contribs) 00:43, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
