Presumably, in the morning peak, they think the passenger load would be
too much to bear.

But the evening peak it is? I don't understand that.


The point is as follows. It is considered unreasonable for passengers to have to
walk *up* an escalator shaft, therefore an *up* escalator service must be
maintained at all times whilst passengers are allowed to exit the station. It is
not possible to have a station closed to exiting passengers as it is impossible
to prevent people from leaving a train.

At Marylebone, in the morning peak, most passengers will be going down rather
than up, therefore - with an up escalator service still having to be maintained
- all these passengers will have to use the fixed staircase. Presumably it is
considered that this volume of passengers using a narrow staircase would be
unsafe.

And yet at Moorgate (WAGN) the same situation applies without anyone
thinking it's unacceptable?
