Victoria LU ticket windows & machines closed weekend just gone

Passing through the tube station I heard a PA announcement about how pax could buy tickets at the far end of their journey, and then later saw the closure flagged on the results of a journey planner query. As far as I could see from a quick glance there wasn't any obvious physical reason for them to be closed (e.g. obstruction etc), so my guess would be that the power supply (and/or comms) was cut off for some reason as a result of the works going on at the station - but I'd be interested to know the actual explanation for it. I thought it was to allow a move of all of the machines to the reconstructed ticket office downstairs. I haven't been through Victoria today so can't confirm if there is a new office in place or not. It was a planned closure not some emergency problem. Oh OK, that would make sense - I just passed straight through the tube ticket hall where such work may have been evident (though it may not have been). I can't remember but suspect the shutters were down in front of the ticket machines, or at least the holes that they had been inhabiting. The text on journey planner made clear it was a planned closure for the whole weekend, it was just a little unusual that's all. |
