Hi gang,

Was just looking at the TfL Real-Time Information page when I came
across the following:

Brixton Station on the Victoria Line southbound only has been closed due
to defective escalators.

Victoria Line trains are not serving this station southbound only.
This will affect journeys from 13:35 on 28/09/04 until further notice.
The station remains open for passengers travelling Northbound.

Well, it made me chuckle anyway...

It's not that strange. All it means is that passengers will not be
allowed to alight from trains arriving at (i.e. terminating at) Brixton;
they'll ll get turfed off one stop early. However, you can still get on
a train at Brixton.
