Monument station is now (temporarily) inaccessible, unless you can use escalators. That ancient lift is inadequate at the best of times.

I don't even think you can use escalators without going into Fenwicks.

No, direct entry to the station without steps of any sort is much worse than it used to be. There used to be a lift in Monument mall, while it existed. The only other accessible entrance was the informal public toilet behind the old travel centre, leading into the ground floor of Eldon Square.

In this day and age, you would have thought there would be some attempt to make the most central metro station in the city the most accessible but, no, it's taken steps backwards in the past 20 years. The boys can't use escalators at all and I can't always use down escalators because I get dizzy on them (a combination of the movement, glare and moving stripes - I even get vertigo looking over balconies at moving escalators) so now that the stairs at Haymarket are gone, we can't use that station, when it's so busy that the queues for the lift are intolerable to the boys or the lift is out of order. When Central Station was closed a lot, we just changed onto a bus at Heworth, if we were coming in from Sunderland. Now we just get the X24 from Sunderland or get off at Central or St James, depending which direction we're coming from.
