I imagine the plan to detrain at City T/L in both directions is because
it
has significantly more room (than Farringdon) to deal with the pax from
a 12
car train?

After TL 20nn, one would hope that Farringdon will have considerably
more passenger handling capability. Is there not going to be another
entrance/exit?

There is already a new, low capacity entrance/exit in Turnmill Street.
FWIR, it is open M-F 07.00-10.00 and 15.30-18.30. Signage restrict it to
the peak flow direction. At first, I obeyed those signs; nothing seems
to exist to enforce them any more than "no exit except in emergency".
There is no gateline; there is a PAYG validator.
Do you refer to that access or something to be provided in future?

The entrance you mention will eventually be made more permanent, I believe,
but there is also to be a major new Thameslink/Crossrail entrance and ticket
hall to be built on the other side of Cowcross St, vertically above the
Thameslink platform extensions.

However as I mentioned in another post, there is no practical way of
increasing the width of the existing platform areas.
