And the Met Line services aren't overcrowded as a result. I guess
most of them are seeing it as a pleasant walk - it isn't *that* far
from Farringdon to Moorgate.

Until they were withdrawn [1] the through Moorgate trains operated by the
SE&CR usually ran empty beyond Snow Hill/Holborn Viaduct LL because most
passengers preferred to leave the train there, or at Ludgate Hill, and walk.
