Reasons for edits[edit]

I have removed the bits about the station being especially deep for a sub-surface line station. It isn't particularly deep.

I have also removed the comment about low passenger numbers. They are lower than the adjacent stations Victoria and South Kensington but Sloane Square has comparatively high numbers compared with other Circle Line stations which are not interchanges with other lines - see Bayswater, Great Portland Street and Aldgate stations for comparisons.

Article title incorrect.[edit]

This article need to be renamed as it is NOT a tube station, as it only serves sub surface platforms that are so near the surface that they are open to daylight for part of their length. 109.153.242.10 (talk) 15:13, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We know... but per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (UK stations) and Wikipedia:WikiProject London/Naming conventions, any station which has London Underground and no other rail operator is a "tube station". Just look at the others in Category:Circle Line stations and Category:District Line stations. --Redrose64 (talk) 19:03, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Edit of 29 August 2015[edit]

I have replaced the escalator bit and added the number of steps under Connections because I can't see what other section is more appropriate for accessibility information, which I'm trying to add to tube station entries in a consistent location (so people know where to look). TFL doesn't publish these details, and its step-free access map is confusing, so ISTM having better information here is of real value (think cyclists using the tube, mothers with small children and prams, partially disabled people - they need detail to make informed navigational decisions).— Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.33.135.154 (talk) 17:12, 29 August 2015

This information is not necessary in an encyclopaedia. People who need information on the accessibility of tube stations can look at:

Escalators do not give step-free access - try putting a wheelchair onto one. --Redrose64 (talk) 16:32, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
