[edit] Deepest tube

I removed:

The platforms at Highgate are the deepest below the surface on the London Underground, partly because the staion is near the top of Highgate Hill.

LU's Northern Line facts page says Hampstead, not Highgate, is the deepest. This is supported by CULG, which gives the drop of the lifts at Hampstead as 55.2m, and that of the lower escalators at Highgate as 21.03m. --rbrwr

I'd basically agree with you; the original statement was possibly made because the station is already in a deep (from the roadside) cutting and if you took the distance from the top of the upper escalator to the bottom of the lower escalator (the booking hall being in the middle) then the drop may be greater than that an Hampstead. --[[User:VampWillow|VampWillow]] 23:38, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Which London Borough

I removed:

and in the [[London Borough of Camden|borough of Haringey]]

as Camden and Haringey are different London Boroughs, so either the link target or the link text must be wrong. Anybody know which it is?. -- Chris j wood 14:15, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
