The travelators between the bullring and the W&C are normally exit only
07.00-10.00, M-F. You will have to walk down an unpleasant stairway with
short risers and long treads.

But the sign I saw said *both* the stairs *&* travolators would be *exit
only*

Which implies no one can get onto a WL&C platform that route - and if the
central line booking hall is closed is that a diversion down, via the
central line platform and then along the tunnel ? back out to the WL&C?

I don't believe that sign. If it is true, it should be possible to
access via the Northern Line Ticket Hall: take the lift; right out;
right at T junction; signed left; right at T and a 2 minute walk to the
platform - say 4 minutes rather than 1 in total.

If, however, you are on a National Rail outside London to Zone 1 (or
other zones) ticket you won't be let back into the station.
BTDTGTTS.

Bank and Monument are now a permanent OSI so I would expect a
magnetic ticket to work properly now.

I'm sceptical. Victoria didn't work the other day, between Victoria and
District lines via the gate lines.

The tickets I mentioned seem to expect you to make just one tube
journey. Perhaps you can prove me wrong?

I don't need to. As MIG has said Victoria is not set as an OSI. We were
talking about Bank and Monument and my response was solely in that
context. Changing the example does not prove me wrong and make you
correct.

As I said, they made out that they had set up an OSI, for Oyster users at
least (same message as currently being used at Bank/Monument) because of
the the interchange route being blocked.

As you know better than I a ticket from a NR location to U1 allows one
trip within Zone 1. It is not a multi ride ticket.

Indeed so (though mine was Zones 1 and 2 on that occasion).
