Note: just because a station has lifts as the means of access does not mean it is step free, e.g. Covent Garden Station has a single flight of stairs between the base of the lifts and the platforms. For Stations with step free access see [[Category Step-Free Access]]. |

The significance of this was highlighted when we had the firemen's strike of 2002, and LT closed all such platforms or stations.
When there is no Fire Brigade cover, London Underground will not operate stations where the only access to the platforms is by lift. Note: access does not include emergency stairs.
