I keep forgetting it's been delayed.

Only until today, though.

When I first used that entrance regularly - maybe around 1980 - there was a
boarded-up escalator from the passage-that-has-just-been-closed up to the
mainline station concourse, adjoining the stairs. Later, it was removed
and the stairs were widened. I often wondered (as I lugged my bags up the
stairs) whether it was ever in use and why it was removed.
