Wimbledon tube station

[Aidan]

Anyone know if Wimbledon station has escalators only down the the tube platforms?

No escalators but there are lifts, they're  a bit hidden away but accessible.

Also the tube there is overground there is a single flight of stairs between street level and the platforms so depending how heavy your bike (I assume) is it may be as easy to carry it down the stairs.

Yes, from a carrying bike points of view, the elevators are also fairly small iirc, you would probably have to hoik a bicycle into an upright position to fit in.

I think I'd just carry a bike up/down the stairs, it would probably be easier.

The station entrance/exit is at ground level.

I've never taken a bike through Wimbedon, since I mostly transit from the tube to the tram, and they won't let me take a bicycle on the tram.

Thanks people, believe it or not, it's not about the bike

I'm travelling with someone who can't go down escalators.  They can go up escalators, just not down.

As Londonites will understand, travelling by tube becomes a real nightmare, particularly in central London.

Shows Wimbledon as "step-free from platform to street", so lifts are there somewhere.
I've only ever used the stairs from the Notwork Rail platforms to the concourse.
