There's also the length (ie, rise) of the escalator to consider. If it's

to walk, so it's better to have a walking lane.
I think this was the reason given for trying it first at Holborn as it
has rather long escalators, but surely not the longest (Angel?).

I've only used Angel station a couple of times but I don't remember it
being particularly busy, so maybe they didn't try it there because
there's no problem to solve there.

You may now start misinterpreting what I just
