Goodge Street Escorts

Goodge Street (Goodge is pronounced /'gu?d?/, rhyming with Scrooge) is a London Underground station on Tottenham Court Road. It is on the Northern Line between Tottenham Court Road and Warren Street, and is in Travelcard Zone 1.
It was opened on 22 June 1907 as Tottenham Court Road but changed to the present name on 3 September 1908 when an interchange was built between the previously separate (and differently named) Northern Line and Central Line stations at the present Tottenham Court Road. Goodge Street station changed its name on the same date.
It is one of the few tube stations that still rely on lifts rather than escalators to transport passengers to and from street level. In addition, it is one of the few tube stations with lifts to use the original scheme of separate exit and entrance areas.
Although the station is extremely busy at peak times, the flow is heavily one-sided. Very few people enter the station when the majority are exiting and vice versa, and four full lifts, travelling in one direction, often return in the opposite direction with only a few people between them.
The station is on the Northern Line inside Zone 1 (the innermost zone on the tube map). It was one of the 8 London stations used as an Air Raid Shelter during World War II.
