The distance from ground level is taken from a point on the surface and a mean point taken on the two platforms
Docklands Light Railway (DLR) and London Overground stations do not have sub-surface platforms.
Tottenham Court Road is step free street to train on the Elizabeth and Northern lines and step free street to platform on the Central line. A manual boarding ramp can be deployed by staff on the Central line.
