Strangely enough it doesn't mention Leicester Sq so I assume that that
station is equally overcrowded and can't cope. Perhaps Ken could
introduce a congestion charge or even pay for escalators.


You'd make yourself look less of a prat if you had bothered to read the
article and to understand it.

Ok my understanding is that TfL are encouraging passngers not to use
Covent Garden tube at the weekend due to overcrowding.
Covent Garden is the busiest tube station that is exclusively served by
lifts.
TfL are encouraging passengers to use Charing Cross, Embankment and
Holburn (but strangely not Leicester Sq).


The opening paragraph states "Transport chiefs are urging people to
reduce congestion at Covent Garden Tube station by using other forms of
travel".

Is my understanding ok, what have I not understood?
