I think the 2nd last paragraph has too many brackets to read easily -- but I'm not sure how best to improve it without losing information. 80.229.160.150 21:20, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

It'd be good to get a picture of how the station looked pre-closure, so we can see the work that was done during the six years it was closed. BillyH 01:29, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

The latest Belle & Sebastian album closes with a song title Mornington Crescent about the station.

The staircase at Bethnal Green Tube Station where the 1943 disaster occurred (which is still an entrance to the station at the corner of Roman Road and Cambridge Heath Road) is not a spiral staircase, and so the statement about the spiral staircase at Mornington Crescent is questionable.

That whole section is questionable - I can find absolutely no evidence that spiral staircases are prohibited for emergency use (in fact they are still installed for that purpose [1]), and even if they were disallowed in new installations, I'm sure an old Tube station would come under "grandfather rights" of some sort. And as you say, the Bethnal Green staircase is straight, not spiral. 217.155.20.163 20:47, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
