TfL aren't interested in how long it takes *you* to get to the top


Yes I know. But what irks me is the mendacious spin. "you'll get to the top
quicker". No I won't. Why can't they just for once be honest and say "its
to reduce station crushing, for some people it might be slightly slower"?


If you are starting at the back of the crush for the escalator, you
will. Because the crush will be much smaller.
