Default Moorgate - Closed to WAGN for 1 year

According to WAGN's website the escalators runnning between the Northern
Line and the Ticket Hall have to be replaced. Work will start from
27/09/04 and last for an entire year.

Are these the escalators running between Moorgate platforms 9 and 10 down
to the Northern Line? These were stopped for months only recently and
everyone had to use the spiral staircases down to the Northern Line.

If they're the main escalators running from platforms 9/10 to above,
leading to the exit then surely there's another way out?

1 ****ing year?!

If you download the PDF from their webpage it explains everything.

It is the Northern Line escalators that have worn out. However it sounds
like they are keeping the Northern Line open, and stopping WAGN arrivals to
reduce the overcrowding.

Oh well, at least you will have a nice walk down from Old Street station
every morning (or fight for a bus, or squeeze onto the Northern Line).
