I see that the escalators at Tottenham Court Road are under repair
again. This is the annual maintenance session, timed to be carried out
during the Christmas shopping period.

One of the three main escalators has been out of action for several
weeks already.

If other stations repairs are anything to go by expect it to be out of action
for at least 6 months. After all , LU keeps reminding us via posters etc
how these things are so complex it takes longer to repair them than it does
NASA to ready a space shuttle for lauch and the repair time has nothing to do
with them putting no more than a couple of bone idle halfwits on the job who
never seem to be there whatever time of day you go past.
