Unlawful is probably the word you are looking for.

Regardless of the legal situation half opening a new station for one-
way travel only would cause a lot of confusion and annoyance -
passengers could get there, but not back again.

No, they'd just have to use the Central Line to get back. Their journey
would be more convenient in one direction than the other, whereas now it's
inconvenient in both directions. No-one would force them to use the new
platform, so they could take the long way around in both directions if that
annoyed them less.

Anyone who lives or works near a one-way system and uses buses might already
have a much more convenient journey in one direction than the other. The
best driving route from A to B in the morning is not that likely to be the
same as the best route back in the evening.

When I lived on an extremely steep hill in Sheffield, I used to walk down
the hill every morning to catch a single bus route to work. In the evening I
would catch the same bus route back as far as the town centre, where I would
change to a different route which would take me to the top of the hill so I
would walk down to my flat. Although all the bus routes were two-way, my
route was a lot less effort than doing the same route in both directions. It
didn't confuse or annoy me.
