Default So why do they keep closing Kings X?

It's a fair question, though, with regard to KX. The rebuild was supposed to
take into account a much larger passenger footfall, even without the
Northern Ticket Hall.


The escalators and platforms have not been rebuilt though. Yes there is
more ticket hall and upper level circulation but not below. I would
guess that tonight's problems were caused by the signal failure at Arnos
Grove on the Piccadilly Line which will have caused huge problems as the
service would fall to bits with a failure at such a crucial point on the
line.
