Is Bank any worse than say Victoria or KX on the victoria line? Its certainly
busy but its not exceptionally so IMO.


Yes, massively so. Have you ever been there during the evening peak?


Frequently. I used to use the DLR when I worked at canary wharf last year.


Did you visit the northern line platforms? Obviously, seeing the
DLR platforms won't help you understand problems on the northern
line (equally obviously, your journey was likely to include lines
other than the DLR, unless you live on Cheapside).

Have you ever been to victoria in the rush hour? Its scary.
