West Ken WB platform at the east end. It is the staff exit to the training centre.

And every time I go there I can never remember the code!

They keep on changing it.

Notice the steps lack the now obligatory yellow 'sight line'...

Answer:

These are indeed the staff only stairs at the eastern end of the westbound platform at West Kensington, although they are not labelled as to what they lead to.

I presume that the stairs do not have the yellow line because they are staff only. That said the public could use the stairs as the signs just say there is no exit unless you are staff, and the barrier is at the top of the stairs. It would be pointless to go up as a non-staff member, but people are not known for being logical!

I've had people follow me up there before thinking it's just another public exit!

A few fare dodgers use that exit, mingling in the crowd and thinking their staff. As for the code, its 1** ;D

Thats why revenue do random spot checks there quite often!
