And the walking speed varies quite a lot between individuals, which will

I wonder why TfL don't speed up the escalators a bit when the demand is
high? In Russia and other countries of the ex Soviet Union the

faster. Metro users seem to cope without difficulty.

It would probably mean upgrading the motors, which is a non-trivial
activity.
