It undermines faith in direction signing when people discover they
are being sent on long detours.

If they are non-regulars they won't even know. Regulars who care will
take the shorter one.

Some heroic assumptions there.


What are your alternative assumptions?


Be more open with people.


That's not an assumption, it's a course of action. And one that would
increase congestion. I can remember when the lower concourse of the
Victoria Line (and it's not small) was full in the evening rush hour of
people queuing for the escalator up to the original ticket hall.

You want to go back to that?
