Sorry matey, but it depends who you're talking about. People who would have
stood anyway will probably get up quicker. Those who would have walked up will
inevitably be delayed.

Sadly not, because they would have been delayed in the bigger queue for
the escalator.


Not as much as they'll have been delayed standing all the way up the long
escalator at Holborn.


TfL's stats would claim otherwise.


Do you have a copy or a link to them? My suspcion is that the press office
has confused latency and throughput.
