It's Day 5 out and about on the new Elizabeth line, as we continue to head east exploring each station in depth down the line. Liverpool Street station is so big that not only does it serve Liverpool Street, but its western end has an entrance/exit at Moorgate too ... and as there are are loads of lifts in this one, the perfect guest for this one was my friend Sarah who wanted to ride them all, including the incline lift!

    Love how the CEO of MTR just casually has a chat with you, watches your videos and even thanks you for your support

    @Geoff Marshall - You're correct the Central Concourse is full length at Liverpool Street due to the predicted passenger volumes. TCR had a full length concourse constructed, but not currently fitted out for customer use, but could be in future, if passenger volumes require it. I was the CRL Principal Delivery Engineer for the station, having worked on the station for 12 years, any questions, feel free to ask.

    Sarah has demonstrated how user friendly Moorgate station and Liverpool Street station are, especially when connecting to other underground lines.

    Thanks for including a disabled POV in this series, Geoff. Far too few travel/transit vloggers remember to do that.
  • @SarahGoesPlaces
    As the saying goes: What’s not to love about railways! Really positive experience of the new stations (especially the diagonal lift). It was nice that people took time to have a chat and explain things. Thanks Geoff, for inviting me along!

    What's not to love about railways.., especially when Geoff's doing the exploring.

    When I was in Osaka, I loved that they had signs on the transfer corridors telling you how many metres it was between stations/platforms. Maybe TfL could do the same thing, though they would probably just say that no matter how long or short the corridor, it was the same as climbing 15 floors.

    What's not to love about railways?! Especially as they get you looking up things like "what is a funicular anyway?" Answer: it's a cable car on rails. Two balanced cabins being the point. Seaside water lifts ring a bell? Whereas an inclined lift is... a lift that goes up and down a slope. Why? Because that is what it is inclined to do. (I'll get me coat.)
  • as someone who is disabled I truly appreciate that you show travel with someone disabled

    What’s not to love about railways? Thank you MTR, TfL, and of course Geoff for his years of coverage of All the Railways!

    The word Moorgate always keeps coming back to haunt me lol Honestly love the kinds words from the CEO MTR UK to acknowledge your support during the years of this project and also had a fun race with JenOnTheMove, Lorna and Every Last Station on the short Incline lifts near the Liverpool Street exit (which is close to the site of Broad Street's disused station) WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE ABOUT RAILWAYS?!

    Love this video with Sarah - seeing accessibility represented in transport is fantastic. This is really important content. One thing I've noticed in these videos is that there doesn't appear to be tactile paving for vision impaired users?
  • What’s not to love about railways with an inclined lift? Also Sarah is excellent 👍🏼👍🏼
  • @DavidHolliday
    Loved the video, Geoff. Sarah is a brilliant guest - you’ll have to do more with her in the future.
  • @andyhill242
    Thanks! As a differently-abled person myself, I always enjoy Sarah's input on your videos.
  • What's not to love about railways ! Especially when you bump into your favourite you tuber, thanks for taking time to talk to my daughter.

    The incline lift, TfL’s new shortest line!

    What's not to love about railways? (especially when staff shortages at airports are making me doubt I'll be in the UK this summer)
