Help -to avoid stairs at specific tube stations

[h2odad]

We are planning to use the tube/Cruise train to go from London to Harwich on a Monday morning in June, 2014, to catch a cruise. We are staying at a hotel close to the Earl’s court station.

We understand that we need to go to the Liverpool Street Station to access the Cruise train to Harwich.

Which route (tube line and specific station) would be best to use between Earl’s court Station and Liverpool Street Station so that the least amount of stairs, and use of lifts when present , would be encountered.

It does appear that the Liverpool Station will require us to use stairs. How many stairs are there to climb?

From the tube map I have, it appears that by taking the District Line from Earl’s Court Station to either

the Blackfriars Station;

Tower Hill station;

or Monument Station

and at one of those transferring to the Circle line to Liverpool Station

are the options available. Is that a good assumption ?

Thank you for your comments

I've been looking at the Blackfriars station map that didn't have any of this detail.......!!

You're welcome :)

 

OP - it really doesn't matter where you change from the District to Circle line anywhere between Gloucester Road and Monument. The trains run on the same track, so you simply get off your eastbound District line train from Earl's Court (making sure you avoid getting on one going to Edgware Road) at any of the stations and wait for the next Circle line train on the same platform.
